Dynamo Kyiv fans tear down goalposts after beating Shakhtar Donetsk in penalty shootout to win Ukrainian Cup final

Dynamo Kyiv completed the Ukrainian double by beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5:4 on penalties following a 0:0 draw after extra time in the Cup final on Thursday as crowd trouble surfaced again.

About two dozen Dynamo fans invaded the ground’s athletics track during the penalty shootout and thousands poured on to the pitch after Dynamo goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovsky saved Shakhtar’s final spot-kick. The fans ripped out the goalposts in wild celebrations and Shovkovsky assisted security staff in ushering supporters back to the terraces so the trophy presentation could start.

Shakhtar were 3:1 up after three rounds of the shootout but Dynamo leveled at 3:3 and Shovkovsky saved the final penalty in sudden death to give Dynamo, who had Serhiy Rybalka sent off in extra time for a second yellow card, the Cup.
