Wisła II: Victorious sparring match against Sparta Kazimierz Wielki

Wisła Kraków's reserves played their fifth friendly match this winter and once again emerged victorious. This time, the White Star defeated fourth-division side Sparta Kazimierza Wielka 2-0 at home, displaying solid play, especially in the second half. Maciej Kuziemka and Kamil Kaczówka scored for the Kraków team.

A week earlier, Wisła Kraków faced Czech side MFK Karviná, winning 1-0. This time, they not only kept another clean sheet but also demonstrated improved offensive effectiveness, which is cause for optimism ahead of their upcoming matches. From the opening minutes, the pace of play was high, with both teams actively searching for opportunities to threaten the opposing goal. Wisła attempted to seize the initiative, but Sparta effectively repelled their attacks and created dangerous chances in the hosts' penalty area. Although Wisła had more possession, the visitors proved more focused. Sparta created several chances, one of the best coming in the 20th minute, when a shot from a tight angle found Wisła off the post. The hosts had their only real chance to threaten the visitors three minutes later, when Kacper Chełmecki burst into the penalty area and took a shot, but the ball sailed high over the crossbar.

For the remainder of the first half, both teams were looking to break down their opponents' defenses, but Sparta was the team that forced Jakub Stępak into action more often. Wisła, on the other hand, was unable to find a way to break down their opponents' tight defense, and their offensive efforts were quickly thwarted by their opponents. Good game organization and victory After the break, Wisła picked up the pace significantly and quickly took the lead. Just a few seconds into the half, Maciej Kuziemka took advantage of a pass from Szymon Kawała and confidently slotted the ball into the net.

The visitors were not going to give Wisła away easily and tried to respond quickly, but Jakub Stępak bravely came out of goal and made a great save, saving a dangerous shot from one of the opponents.

With each passing minute, Wisła gained momentum, forcing Sparta into a deep defensive position and forcing them to defend. The Kraków team confidently marched towards victory, but in the 69th minute, they again gave the opposition a hard time. Yehor Khromykh delivered a precise cross from a corner, and Kamil Kaczówka headed the ball perfectly past the visiting goalkeeper. For the remainder of the match, Wisła maintained their momentum, eager to capitalize on further opportunities. Maksym Tsymbaliuk and Marcin Bartoń came close, but to no avail. Just before the end of regulation, Michał Prochwicz broke into the visitors' penalty area and unleashed a dangerous shot, but this time the Kazimierza Wielka goalkeeper was unstoppable.
