Górnik Zabrze and Cracovia are two bands that have had a problem with catching high and stable form since the beginning of the year. Jan Urban's team has at least some victory (3: 2 with Radomiak Radom). However, they could not turn it into any series, because in the last match They encountered the defense of Rakow Częstochowa, which this season is often a dementor from a series of books about Harry Potter. He sucks everything that is nice and creative from his rival's offensive. This was also the case with a miner who showed nothing interesting and lost 0: 1 in Częstochowa.
Cracovia's away match. Zabrze did not turn out to be an easy area
The Cracovia offensive is also quite sad this year. “Pasy” in autumn often delighted with imagination and fantasy, meanwhile we saw such a face of this band in spring only once, when they lost 0: 2 to Jagiellonia Białystok in the previous round. Then they actually woke up this claw and made up for the losses. They are still without a victory this year, but it was indeed some hope for the future.
Unfortunately, for Krakow fans, the first half in Zabrze had nothing to do with that creative half with Jagiellonia. If someone created something interesting in it, it was a miner. However, he was ineffective. Yosuke Furukawa was wasted, blocked at the last minute in the 17th minute.
Competitors Cracovia generally blocked a lot of shots, such as Benjamin Kallman in the 25th minute, who took the body of Patrik Hellebrand's attempt on the body. However, they could not threaten the miner themselves, and as a result, we did not see a single goal until the break. Or even some really good goal opportunity.
Górnik shot and fired until he fired. That still for the right goal …
Fortunately, it looked better in the second half. The match was chaotic, but at least something started to happen. In the 57th minute Luka Zahović hit the post after a great play of Dominik Sarapata. What a miner could not do, a minute later she did Cracovia. Benjamin Kallman got an application in the penalty area from Hasicia and tried to serve himself, but his play was so unlucky by Rafał Janicki that he defeated his own goalkeeper.
Over time, Górnik was more and more often tried to bite, but it was always missing. Either the last application or mastery in the penalty area. In turn, when it was possible to make a shot and they did it Lukas Podolski And Ousman Sow, Sebastian Madejski stood up to the challenge. To the very end, Zabrze tried to break through the defense of Cracovia, but they were too clumsy in the penalty area. The guests took the result and scored very valuable three points, winning for the first time in 2025.
