Olomouc take Czech FA cup

Sigma Olomouc beat Sparta Prague 1:0 on Wednesday night to win the Czech FA cup. The cup final, played in Plzeň, saw the only goal two minutes into the second half when Olomouc defender Michal Vepřek threw the ball in on the left side, got it back and made his way into the box where he produced a hard shot to the far corner. The win sweetens the season for Olomouc who had nine points taken away from them over match-fixing. For their part, Sparta might wrap the season empty handed as their chances of winning the league are growing thinner.
