Ostrava’s 1-0 win against Ceske Budejovice sealed their progression to the top flight.

Katerina Gaurova scored the winning goal for Ostrava in the 33rd minute rounding up a successful season for the host.

Okah saw 77 minutes of action and was replaced by Najvarova. Her compatriot, Folorunsho was an unused substitute for the clash.

Ostrava sealed their promotion ticket despite second placed finish with 49 points as league leaders, Sparta Prague B already have their main team in the top flight.
