The head coach of Kyiv's "Dynamo," Oleksandr Shovkovskiy, commented on the loss (1:1, penalty shootout — 5:6) in the final of the Vbet Cup against Donetsk's "Shakhtar."

"First and foremost, I have to say that fans had reason to be satisfied with this match, with the tension, the struggle on the football field. The fight was uncompromising, but players restrained themselves from injuring their opponents. Yes, emotions were there, but they cannot be absent when a final cup game is taking place."

Of course, it's disappointing to lose in a penalty shootout series. First of all, I have to say that individual skill plays the primary role in football, but many mistakes made by players also matter. We conceded a goal due to our mistake, gave them an opportunity for a quick counterattack and did not finish the episode properly. As always, we can say that we will draw conclusions, but this cost us the victory," — said Oleksandr Shovkovskiy.
