West Ham won a third European title in their history on Wednesday night after a dramatic 1-2 victory over Fiorentina in the Conference League final, which took place at a stadium in Prague.
In the first half, we didn't see much football, but in the 33rd minute the game was stopped due to an unusual incident. Fiorentina captain Cristian Biraghi sent out an away ball but then received a flurry of glasses from West Ham fans, one glass hit his head and the captain started bleeding on the pitch.

Then, when all the dozens of fans thought both teams were on their way to extra-time, came the 90th minute - Bruce Bowen was sent off with a great deep ball, galloped all the way wide and from there kicked superbly into the net. 1-2 to West Ham, who win the title of the third most important enterprise.
