The final match of the 2021/2022 Ukrainian Cup took place in Kyiv at the "Left Bank" stadium. The Poltava team "Vorskla," which reached the final for a third consecutive season (though in the seasons 2019/2020 and 2020/2021, the team won the cup under the name "Zhitlobud-2"), faced the Kovalivka-based "Kolos" (the latter's players, coached by Lyudmila Pokotilo, reached this stage of the tournament for the first time in their short history).

Poltava started the match strongly. As early as the second minute, Yana Kalinina made a cross from the right flank, but the ball slipped past the goalkeeper and narrowly missed the far corner.
On the 18th minute, "Vorskla" doubled their lead. Yana Kotik scored after a second touch following a cross into the penalty area.
In the second half, "Kolos" had a real chance to narrow the gap, but Beata Ambrush failed to score from the 11-meter mark against Kateryna Samson.
