Wisła II: Lost match against KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski
Coach Aleksander Mikhailov's side faced KSZO Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski in their final league match of the year. It wasn't an easy match for the Kraków team, as their opponents weren't exactly welcoming, and they ultimately secured the three points, defeating the visitors 2-1. Yehor Khromykh scored the goal for the White Star.
In the first half, Wisła had to contend with dangerous attacks from their opponents. The home team clearly dominated the field and dominated, creating a series of good chances. The visitors, on the other hand, tried to rise to the occasion, trying to counter the pressure exerted by the KSZO players, but for a very long time they were unable to generate any chances that would have led to a goal. The home side had no problem with this, repeatedly forcing their way into the penalty area and firing shots towards goal, forcing Kamil Broda into action. The Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski players created good chances from the outset, but once they hit the post, and in the second instance, the Wisła goalkeeper made a one-on-one save. KSZO soon achieved their goal, taking the lead in the 24th minute after a free kick and some confusion in the penalty area. Moments later, they came back with a shot under the crossbar, securing a two-goal lead. Wisła tried to regain the initiative late in the period, looking to close the gap. Maciej Kuziemka had a chance to do so, winning the ball in the penalty area, but mishandled it and ultimately failed to connect.
Honorable Hit
After the break, the Kraków team attacked their opponents with greater boldness, gaining the upper hand several times, but initially their attempts were unsuccessful. First, Karol Dziedzic attempted a free kick, then Maciej Kuziemka had another chance, sending the ball wide, and finally, Wiktor Szywacz headed the ball, but the KSZO goalkeeper showed quick reflexes. Wisła managed to break even in the 86th minute. Yehor Khromykh, amidst the chaos in the penalty area, perfectly placed the ball into the net, securing the consolation goal. Throughout the second half, the hosts maintained their momentum, trying to control the game and creating further good chances, but they were unable to break Kamil Broda for a third time. The final minutes of the match also saw a fierce battle and intense sportsmanship, as both teams raced to prove their mettle once again. The result did not change and after the final whistle the locals left the pitch in good spirits, having added three points.
