The 1992 Ukrainian Cup final was a football match that took place at the Republican Stadium on 31 May 1992. The match was the 1st Ukrainian Cup Final and it was contested by Chornomorets Odesa and Metalist Kharkiv. The 1992 Ukrainian Cup Final was the first to be held in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Chornomorets won the match 1âÂÂ0 on the silver goal rule when the Illya Tsymbalar's goal in 107 minute gave the Odesa club the win during the extra time.
The match also had one yellow card issued to Kastorny (Metalist).
Both clubs were among the six Ukrainian clubs that last year competed in the Soviet Supreme League and therefore started from the second round (Round of 16).
The two teams had some difficulties along the way. Chornomorets lost its first game in Zhytomyr to Polissya 1âÂÂ4, but reinstated themselves in the return leg with a 7âÂÂ1 win. Then had to visit Zaporizhia two rounds in a row before qualifying for this final. Metalist came to the final after defeating Shakhtar in the semi-finals and were considered able to repeat their previous Soviet achievement by earning another national trophy.
Both clubs have existed since Soviet times. In cup competitions, they met as early as 1949. Their first match took place on 16 June 1949 in the qualifications of the 1949 Soviet Cup. Pischevik Odessa beat Dzerzhinets Kharkov 1âÂÂ0.
