Dmitry Mykhaylenko's wards in the match of 1/4 finals of the Cup of Ukraine defeated Poltava Vorskla thanks to two late goals.

It was difficult to determine the favorite of this match. Vorskla has not yet won official matches this year. In addition, Poltava recently changed the coach - and lost the first match under the leadership of Vitaly Kosovsky. Dnipro is the leader in the first league and has a great chance of promotion in the class.

On the eve of the match, both teams suffered personnel losses. Dnipro-1 could not count on Serhiy Kravchenko and Nazarenko, while Vorskla missed Vasin, Yakub and Dmytro Kravchenko. We will add that Dmytro Mykhaylenko gave the opportunity to make his debut in the team to 17-year-old player of the youth national team of Ukraine Arseniy Batagov.

Opponents carefully started the match, and it almost did not reach the shots on goal. Poltava residents tried to use standards, while Dnipro residents emphasized the speed of their young performers.

During the break, the number of moments increased significantly. The hosts regularly shut down opponents in their half, but could not bring their attack to a decisive blow. In the green-green was active Saky, who fired several good shots.

In general, Dnipro continued to have the initiative, and in the end the defense of "Vorskla" did not survive. In the 78th minute, Tkachenko after a shot from the left corner of the penalty kick knocked the ball exactly to the foot of Kulish, and he easily opened the score. Soon the advantage of his team was doubled by Kohut, who completed the counterattack. As a result, Dnipro-1 made it to the semifinals of the tournament for the second time in a row.
