Górnik invents a remedy for Wisła

Published: 02-05-2011 10:28

Górnik Zabrze had had their last win in Cracow 21 years ago, and they recorded their last draw near Wawel 18 years ago. However, the Saturday afternoon turned out to be lucky for the charges of the coach Adam Nawałka, who ended their losing streak by defeating Wisła 2:0 at Reymont Street.

Although the home team dominated on the pitch, Górnik took the lead owing to a mistake made by the Wisła defence in the 25th minute. After the ball had been crossed to the home team penalty area, Gasparik struck towards the far post and placed a shot into the net. The Wisła Kraków players had had at least four excellent opportunities to defeat Adam Stachowiak before, but they did not take advantage of any of them.  In the 9th minute the ball passed right next to a Górnik goalpost when Melikson shot from behind the penalty area. In the 20th minute Kirm miskicked the ball standing a few metres away from the goal after Małecki passed from the left side, and Melikson did not hit the ball in almost the same situation three minutes later.

Having lost the goal, Wisła started playing poorly and could not regain the game pace from the beginning of the match. After the break, the situation on the pitch looked the same as well. Even though the home team possessed the ball more often, they could not threaten their opponents' goal. On the other hand, Górnik led very dangerous counterattacks, and one of such offensive actions brought the team the second goal. In the 81st minute Daniel Sikorski received a pass from Robert Jeż, twirled Osman Chavez and defeated Pareiko. A few minutes later Sikorski could score another goal but his shot was saved by the White Star goalkeeper.
