Second defeat in a row

Published: 25-11-2009 13:02

After the disaster with Legia it should have been an easy game for Wisła and a good result in the match with “The Stripes”. Unhappily, it was entirely otherwise. Cracovia gained their first victory over Wisła since the time of their return to the Extra Class league. Despite the defeat the White Star retained the position of leader.

In the Kraków Derby played in Sosnowiec, Cracovia began the game better, and as early as the 12th minute might have taken the lead. Radosław Matusiak challenged Mariusz Pawełek man-to-man, but the White Star goalkeeper proved superior in this duel. Afterwards the home side came into their stride, however despite excellent chances for Kirm, Małecki and Jirsak, they were unable to overcome Marcin Cabaj.

The second half began the same as the first half had begun – however this time the pupils of trainer Orest Lenczyk exploited their chance. In the 50th minute Michał Goliński received the ball under his foot in the Wisła penalty area and with a shot into the far corner overcame Mariusz Pawełek. After gaining the goal the guests gave their rivals free rein in the field, defending their beneficial result, but the White Star attacks were fruitless. The players of Maciej Skorża failed to break through the wall that Cracovia created around their goal. In the 90th minute Boguski was close to a lob from Cabaj, but was unlucky in this situation.

The Wisła Kraków supporters, which even after the defeat with Levadia did not desert the team, this time expressed their impatience loudly. It is scarcely to be wondered at! The White Star has lost the following very prestigious match and even the position of leader does not sweeten the bitterness of defeat.
