August 28, 2007 - Czech Cup 2nd round - Konice (4th tier) 0 Sigma Olomouc 0





August 28th, 2007
Czech Cup 2nd round
Konice (4th tier) 0 Sigma Olomouc 0 (Konice advanced 5-4 on pk's)
Attendance - 1,500

At the time, Konice were in the 4th tier, which was quite impressive for the small town not far from Prostějov.  It was, arguably, around this time that they achieved their best success.  I do not remember much from this game, but what I do remember was the shock of seeing Sigma Olomouc lose to a 4th tier opponent.  This just did not happen very often in the Czech Cup.

The facilities were basic, with one old wooden stand, which meant most people had to stand or sit on the grass surrounding the pitch.  Around 30-40 Sigma ultras made the trip.

Konice currently play in the 5th tier of Czech football, and have not had much success since their shock win over Sigma.
