Shakhtar secure cup revenge against Dynamo Kyiv

In a heated cup encounter, Shakhtar secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv. The result was sealed by goals from Mendoza in the 43rd minute, Izaki Silva in the 74th, and Alisson in the 87th.

The match was marred by severe disciplinary issues for the visitors. Dynamo Kyiv were reduced to ten men as early as the 30th minute following a red card for Taras Mykhavko for unsportsmanlike conduct. Their troubles continued late in the game when Aliu Tiare was sent off in the 90+2nd minute for a rough tackle, followed by Eduardo Guerrero, who was dismissed after the final whistle for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Despite several cautions for the hosts, Shakhtar maintained their composure to claim a significant win in this high-stakes derby.
