1998 Ukrainian Cup final
association football match
The 1998 Ukrainian Cup final was a football match that took place at the NSC Olimpiyskiy on May 31, 1998. The match was the 7th Ukrainian Cup Final and it was contested by both Kyivan clubs FC Dynamo Kyiv and FC CSKA Kyiv. The 1998 Ukrainian Cup Final was the seventh to be held in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Dynamo won by two goals netted by Andriy Shevchenko on the 1st and 33rd minutes. CSKA managed to answer with a single tally from Novokhatsky on the 68th minute, which was scored on the rebound right after the missed penalty kick. Shovkovskyi managed to deflect the penalty kick from Oliynyk.
There also were several yellow cards issued at this game, all of them to Army players: Semchuk, Hohil, and Kripak.
Road to Kyiv
Both teams started from the first round of the competition (1/16). Dynamo did not have any difficulties along the way meeting almost no resistance from every team. Especially surprising was the face-off with Chornomorets Odesa which ended with an unbelievable 4-1 win for the white-blues in Odesa.

Why this record matters
The phrase “association football match” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4594071. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
