Idahor scored the winner in extra time as ten-man SC Tavriya Simferopol
won their first Ukrainian Cup, overcoming FC Metalurh Donetsk 3-2 to
earn a place in next season's UEFA Europa League.Serhiy
Puchkov's Crimean side were quick out of the blocks and took the lead
after two minutes when Oleksandr Kovpak set up Maksym Feschuk to slot
in neatly. It looked like it might be a pushover when the Simferopol
outfit doubled their advantage before the break, Kovpak dusting himself
off after being fouled in the box to score from the penalty spot.Beaten
finalists in 1994, Tavriya's nerves started jangling as Nikolay Kostov
Nikolov's Metalurh staged a second-half fightback. Henrik Mkhitaryan
scored their first just after the break and Mário Sérgio made it 2-2 15
minutes from time. Saša Djurčić's dismissal in extra-time seemed to
further undermine Tavriya, but Nigerian striker Idahor lived up to his
name by grabbing the winner."Even though the game was so
dramatic and nerve-wracking, I have to thank my players for their
courage and will to win," said a happy Puchkov afterwards. "Yes, we made some mistakes today but we deserved the victory and gave our supporters a real feast.
Now we can relax a bit and prepare for the start of the UEFA Europa
League and the Ukrainian Super Cup match against FC Shakhtar Donetsk."
