Chernihiv win Ukrainian Cup semi without a single shot on opponents' goal

April 23 (Reuters) - Second-tier side FC Chernihiv reached the final of the Ukrainian Cup despite ​not having a single shot towards ‌their opponents' goal, as they beat Metalist 1925 in penalties after Wednesday's semi-final ended goalless. Chernihiv ​were down to 10 men ​after defender Pavlo Shushko was sent off ⁠just five minutes in. Metalist, who ​had 31 shots including 13 on target, ​found the net once but the strike was disallowed due to offside. Keeper Maksym Tatarenko then led ​Chernihiv to a 6-5 win in ​the penalty shootout, getting the club to the ‌Ukrainian ⁠Cup final for the first time. Chernihiv had also beaten Mariupol in penalties after their quarter-final clash ended goalless. They lost a ​shootout to ​Kryvbas in ⁠the second round, but the Ukrainian FA overturned the result to ​a 3-0 win for Chernihiv ​over ⁠Kryvbas fielding more than seven foreign players at the same time, breaching a tournament ⁠rule. Chernihiv ​will face 13-time champions ​Dynamo Kyiv in the final on May 20. Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. , opens new tab
