3 – 3
“Mateusz Klich opened the scoring for Cracovia in the 8th minute, punishing early Motor Lublin pressure that had failed to convert several attempts in the opening exchanges.”
Pivotal“Karol Czubak equalised for Motor Lublin in the 37th minute, restoring parity after Cracovia had led through Klich's early opener and keeping the hosts in the contest at the break.”
Pivotal“Gabriel Charpentier, introduced as a substitute in the 58th minute, extended Cracovia's lead to 3-1 in the 82nd minute, converting after Motor had failed to convert several second-half chances — a moment that appeared to seal the win for the visitors.”
Pivotal“Karol Czubak headed home in the 88th minute to make it 2-3, igniting a frantic finale and giving Motor Lublin a lifeline when the game had looked entirely lost.”
Pivotal“Substitute Kacper Karasek completed the most improbable of comebacks in stoppage time, equalising at 3-3 to deny Cracovia a crucial away win and send the Motor Lublin faithful into disbelief-turned-jubilation.”

Outstanding performance
Motor Lublin•AttackerMotor Lublin dominated possession with 64% and completed 490 passes, yet found themselves staring down a 1-3 deficit with barely ten minutes remaining — a testament to Cracovia's clinical counter-attacking efficiency. The visitors created 17 shots to Motor's 11 and were ruthless when it mattered, with Mateusz Klich breaking the deadlock early and substitute Gabriel Charpentier putting the game seemingly beyond reach in the 82nd minute. But Motor refused to fold. Karol Czubak powered home a header in the 88th minute to reignite hope, and moments later Kacper Karasek, himself a second-half substitute, completed one of the most improbable comebacks of the Ekstraklasa season by levelling in stoppage time. For Cracovia, who had controlled so much of the match from a defensive standpoint, the collapse will be deeply damaging — particularly given their precarious league position — while Motor will take enormous confidence from showing the character to claw back three goals in the final stages.
