At the Arena Lviv match of the Cup of the country will come to an end for another season.
Mircea Lucescu is leaving. Now we can talk about it out loud. Today’s match will be the last in the 12-year era Romanian head coach at Shakhtar. His players will do anything to nice to say goodbye to coach – “the dawn” is his debut in the final of the Cup to turn into a long-awaited trophy.
Shakhtar did not artificially kill the game in the Cup final, allowing players rented “Dawn” (Shevchenko, Karavaev, Totovitskyy, Budkovskyy) to play in the match. Thus, in today’s match and Shakhtar and Zorya will be provided in the most efficient composition.
The atmosphere of the decisive match of the Cup of Ukraine spoiled the inexplicable decision of the football Federation of the country, entrusted to take the match the Arena Lviv. In the end, the Cup final will be held at an empty stadium, but a similar match in Sumy, Odessa or Kharkov would be a beautiful ending of a difficult football season in Ukraine.
