Expected results in an unexpected fashion
So, Dynamo Kyiv had to struggle early on, but they overcame Metalist Kharkiv's stubborn resistence and put away the resolute guests late, for a 4-2 home victory in the return leg of the Ukrainian Cup Semifinal. It was tough. with less than 10 minutes to go the score was 2-2. Metalist still can not beat Dynamo but they are showing how close they have come to the best two teams in Ukrainian Premier league. Hell, given the all trouble unfancied Tavruya Symferopil gave Shakhtar over the two legs of their semifinal (0-0, 2-2), I am not sure the miners would have defeated this Metalist Kharkiv team.
In any case, an expected result came to pass. The two Ukrainian grands, Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk are facing each other in the Ukrainian Cup final on the Kyiv Day in Kyiv.
