Natalia Zinchenko's wards, scoring the ball in the first half, minimally defeated the champion of the country - "Zhytlobud-1".

The final of the Cup of Ukraine of the 2020/2021 season took place at the STC named after V. Bannikov. Zhytlobud-1 and Zhytlobud-2 met in the decisive match. It will be recalled that in the semifinals Valentina Kotyk's charges beat Mariupol (4: 1), and Natalia Zinchenko's team was stronger than Ladomir (2: 0). It should also be noted that the referee of the meeting was Kateryna Monzul, who is preparing to work at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

In the first half, the game advantage was for "Zhitlobud-1". The players of this team created several threats to Bondarchuk's goal. In particular, Apanashchenko, Ovdiychuk, and Kochnev were dangerously punched. In the 11th minute, Ovdiychuk had a deadly moment in general, when the goalkeeper turned her shot into the post after an individual pass.

Zhytlobud-2 tried to counterattack, but nothing came of Natalia Zinchenko's team until the 38th minute, when Kravchuk in a counterattack shook opponents and sent to the center of the penalty area on Kalinin, who hit the target from 10 meters. 0: 1.

After the break, Zhytlobud-1 increased the pace, the ball rarely left half of the field of nominal guests. Only in the 70th minute Pantsulaya struck a long but inaccurate shot. And before that the ball sometimes just miraculously did not fly into the gates of "Zhitlobud-2". What is worth a moment from the same Ovdiychuk, when the ball hit her in the crossbar after hitting her head.

However, under the curtain of the match, the football players of Zhytlobud-2 seem to have opened their second breath. The team created several dangerous moments, however, the score on the scoreboard has not changed.
