Soccer-Violence mars Bulgarian Cup final

BURGAS, Bulgaria, May 30 (Reuters) - Cherno More Varna came from behind to capture their maiden Bulgarian Cup title on Saturday, snatching a dramatic 2-1 extra-time win over Levski Sofia in a final marred by fan violence.

Cherno More captain Mihail Venkov was hit by what appeared to be a tin can just before the break.

The second half was also delayed by several minutes after Levski fans threw flares and firecrackers on the pitch.

Just after the final whistle Levski supporters set seats on fire and threw them on to the field before riot police restored order.
