Katowice 5-0 Wisła Płock result, stats and report

Katowice held on for a 3-2 win over Cracovia Kraków in a chaotic Polish Ekstraklasa encounter, with the decisive goals coming from substitutes and the visitors unable to convert their clear territorial superiority into the result their stats deserved.

Wisła Płock finally showed some backbone at home, beating Cracovia Kraków 3-1 in the Polish Ekstraklasa with two goals in a frantic two-minute spell that settled the tie. Cracovia's discipline fell apart completely, finishing the match with four yellow cards and a red.

Zagłębie Lubin ended a run of frustrating draws with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Katowice, with Michalis Kosidis netting the winner before a chaotic stoppage time that included a penalty, a VAR review, and multiple yellow cards.

Korona Kielce came to Płock, took their chances, and left with three points. Wisła Płock had the ball, the corners, and the shots. They also had four big chances and missed every single one. That is the whole story.

Katowice ended Górnik Zabrze's five-match winning run with a 3-2 victory, with Ilya Shkurin scoring twice deep in stoppage time for the hosts but ultimately in vain against a Katowice side that dominated possession and controlled large portions of the match.

Katowice have won just two of their last five Ekstraklasa matches and their home defence is leaking. Pogoń Szczecin arrive unbeaten in five. Something has to give.

Raków Częstochowa have lost five straight in the Ekstraklasa and shipped twelve goals doing it. Katowice arrive in form and scoring freely. This one has a story.
