A derby is never about the football alone, but the football helped: 2-0, and the away end emptied early. Bragging rights renewed for another season.

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Dynamo Kyiv, and both men came out saying it was fine.
