KIEV, June 4 (Reuters) - Dynamo Kiev goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovskiy was the hero as they won the double by beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5-4 on penalties following a 0-0 draw after extra time in the Ukrainian Cup final on Thursday as crowd trouble surfaced again.

About two dozen Dynamo fans invaded the ground's athletics track during the shootout and thousands poured on to the pitch after Shovkovskiy saved Shakhtar's final spot-kick from Olexandr Hladkiy.

The fans ripped out the goalposts in wild celebrations and lit fireworks prompting Shovkovskiy and UEFA vice-president Hryhoriy Surkis to help security staff by urging supporters to go back to the terraces so the trophy could be presented.
