1990 Soviet Cup final

The 1990 Soviet Cup Final was a football match that took place at the Lenin's Central Stadium, Moscow on 2 May 1990. The match was the 49th Soviet Cup Final and it was contested by FC Dynamo Kyiv (I tier) and FC Lokomotiv Moscow (II tier). The Soviet Cup winner Dynamo qualified for the Cup Winners' Cup first round for the Soviet Union. The last year defending champions Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk were eliminated in the first round of the competition (1/16 of final) by PFC CSKA Moscow on away goal rule (1:1, 2:2). Dynamo played their 10th Cup Final winning on 9 occasions including this one. For Lokomotiv it was their only third Cup Final and the only loss at this stage.

All sixteen Soviet Top League clubs did not have to go through qualification to get into the competition, so Dynamo and Lokomotiv both qualified for the competition automatically.

Previously these two teams never met each other in the such a late stages of the competition. However they did meet about five times in the Soviet Cup, usually in the first rounds. They first played each other in the Soviet Cup back in 1938.
