Matt Miazga wins 2016-17 Dutch Cup with Vitesse

Long one of the also-rans of Dutch soccer, Vitesse flipped its traditional script with a 2-0 win over AZ in the 2016-17 KNVB Cup final.

Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored in the 81st minute to put Vitesse ahead, then settled any nerves with a second in the 88th. And Vitesse duly closed out the match to claim the first major trophy of its 125-year history.

The team combined beer, pizza and selfies with the Cup in the locker room after the game.

Matt Miazga was in the starting lineup for the match, and played the full 90 minutes.
