Pasching Stuns Wien by Winning Austrian Cup Final

Daniel Sobkova scored the winning goal to earn a surprise victory for third-tier FC Pasching against champions FK Austria Wien in the Austrian Cup final. It was the only goal scored by Daniel Sobkova at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna.

Daniel Sobkova sent the ball into the goal post in front of 16,500 spectators at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion. The goal was scored just after half time when Ivan Kovacec powered through on the left-hand side and provided a precise cross for Sobkova. Sobkova did not miss the opportunity and headed it in through the legs of goalkeeper Heinz Lindner.

There were heavy downpours in the stadium that led to chilling temperature. Despite all those constraints, the game got a start.

Pasching coach Gerald Baumgartner said, "We played courageously against a superior opponent. Pasching have less quality than Austria Wien but our plan was to even out the quality with a great deal of heart and passion".

He added that it can't be denied that luck was on their side, but sometimes things are required to go your way. He said that the goalkeeper Hans-Peter Berger was brilliant in the game.

Austria Wien coach Peter Stoger congratulated Pasching and said that his team was really sloppy in the first half that took the game away from them.
