Lviv, Ukraine Stadium, 1992. The video shows the first National Football Championship of Ukraine, the final match, the second half.

The teams playing are Tavria (Simferopol) and Dynamo (Kyiv). In the 32nd minute, Serhiy Shevchenko scores the winning goal and Tavria becomes the Ukrainian football champion. The stadium applauds and shouts “Bravo”.

After the match, journalist Valentyn Shcherbachev interviews Dynamo head coach Anatoliy Puzach, head coach of the Dynamo Kyiv football team, and players Volodymyr Chyzhovych and Yulian Korniak.

Tavria players run around the stadium with the cup in their hands. Fans are chanting: “Tavri - well done”, the flag of Ukraine is given to the players of Tavriya, they run with it along the stadium.

Reference: The 1992 Ukrainian Football Championship was the first championship of Ukraine after gaining independence. This season was a transitional and exceptional one - it lasted only six months. This happened because the last USSR championship ended in the fall of 1991, and the Football Federation of Ukraine decided to hold championships on a fall-spring calendar to synchronize them with most European championships and the European Cup season.
