The decisive match of the final DUFLU tournament among U-1 teams took place in Shchaslyvy5. In the match for gold medals, Shakhtar defeated Dynamo in a series of 11-meter post-match series.

The final game turned out to be fierce, with enough moments, but for the first time the ball hit the net only in the 37th minute. After a small ricochet, Shakhtar player Christian Bako stood out. In turn, Kyiv did not realize several good opportunities, but their final assault still ended in a goal. After 70 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by Yevhen Opanasenko might have resulted in another goal for FC.
