Wisła II: A high victory against Niwa

The White Star reserve team traveled to Nowa Wieś on Saturday to face local side Niwa in the 26th round of the JAKO IV League. The visitors put on a real show of form, ultimately winning 7-1! Dominik Sarga, Karol Tokarczyk, Michał Zimon, Kamil Kaczówka, and Dawid Olejarka all scored three times.

The Kraków team approached the match against Niwa eager to redeem themselves after Wednesday's draw with BKS Bochnia and began to gain an advantage over their opponents from the very first moments. Right after the kick-off, they launched a move, with Kuba Wiśniewski firing in a shot and Karol Sałamaj tapping in the rebound, but the goalkeeper showed quick reflexes. A similar move and a follow-up from Dominik Sarga followed shortly after, but the goalkeeper again managed to save Niwa from conceding. Soon after, Kraków won a corner, from which Michał Zimon crossed directly onto Jakub Niewiadomski's head. Wisła's shot missed the target, but Karol Tokarczyk was on hand to find the back of the net and open the scoring. The home side attempted to counter Wisła's onrushing players, while the visitors organized themselves well, quickly gaining possession. The locals first attempted to threaten Kacper Szewczyk in the 26th minute, and over the next ten minutes, they twice fired shots at Wisła's goal, but their precision was lacking. Meanwhile, the White Star players created good opportunities – in one of them, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, Karol Tokarczyk shot wide, and moments later Mariusz Kutwa shot, but it was blocked by an opposing defender. The Krakow team continued to push for further opportunities, and in the 42nd minute, Dawid Olejarka passed the ball to Michał Zimon, who chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, extending his team's lead.

Phenomenal effectiveness

After the break, the visitors regained the initiative, but Niwa's players showed more courage in their play and, in the 52nd minute, beat Kacper Szewczyk with a spectacular free kick, scoring a goal. The Kraków team wasn't deterred by the goal conceded – in the 58th minute, Dominik Sarga won the ball in the penalty area, tricked his opponent, and then confidently slotted the ball into the net. The visitors' display of skill continued, as the ball fell to Dominik Sarga again, who passed it to Kamil Kaczówka. The player shot at goal, the defender cleared it off his line, but Kaczówka capitalized on the opportunity, scoring from the rebound. The Kraków team's attacks were relentless, and with twenty minutes remaining in regulation time, they again proved their worth, as Dawid Olejarek beat the goalkeeper with a precise free kick. Niwa's players had no room to maneuver, while the White Star players increasingly posed a threat in the Nowa Wieś penalty area. The final moments of the match definitely belonged to Dominik Sarga, who found the net for the second time in the 85th minute and sealed his team's victory with a hat-trick in stoppage time.
