Nigeria international Peter Olayinka has won the double with Czech side Slavia Prague.

Slavia Prague won their third MOL Cup in last four years on Thursday evening, beating Viktoria Plzeň 1-0 at the Doosan Aréna with their Nigerian star watching proceedings from the bench.

Olayinka, who has struggled with injuries this season, appeared in two matches in the Cup, against his former club
Dukla Prague and Sparta Prague in the third round and semifinals respectively.

Abdallah Sima was the match-winner for the current Czech champions, scoring the only goal of the game with seventeen minutes left on the clock.

Deli sent a beautiful cross from the left side, Traoré on the far post returned the ball in front of the goal and Sima fired it through Staněk into the back of the net.

Olayinka contributed to sixteen goals (11 goals, 5 assists) from 38 appearances in all competitions despite an injury-blighted campaign.

The 25-year-old has been named in the Super Eagles provisional squad list for the upcoming friendly against Cameroon.
