Friday’s league match between Sparta Prague and Sigma Olomouc may not have ended in triumph for the home team (editor’s note: Sparta lost 3-2)., but one fan walked away with a victory worth celebrating.

Sparta had the upper hand as they led 1-0 going into halftime, but the real excitement came when a fan took to the field to participate in a halftime contest.

The task? To kick the ball from the centre circle into a small goal—a feat that had stumped every participant before.

However, this fan pulled it off with a perfectly measured strike, sending the ball straight into the target and making him the first ever to succeed in this challenge.

The crowd cheered loudly as the lucky fan, Pavel, was handed a cheque for one million crowns, courtesy of his remarkable kick.

Unfortunately, the post-match atmosphere wasn’t quite as jubilant. Sparta ultimately fell to Sigma Olomouc 2-3. But for Pavel, the sting of defeat was likely softened by his impressive achievement.
