Outstanding performance
Wisła Kraków•AttackerWisła Kraków, sitting deep in the relegation zone before kickoff, produced a performance that belied their league position, dominating the underlying numbers with 24 shots to Jagiellonia's 6 and a commanding 80 dangerous attacks. Ángel Rodado was the difference-maker, breaking the deadlock in the 14th minute after a well-worked corner sequence and then adding a second in the 87th minute to put the result beyond doubt. Jagiellonia, despite enjoying 58% possession and superior passing accuracy, could never turn their control of the ball into clear-cut chances, managing just one shot on target and five saves from their own goalkeeper against a barrage of Wisła efforts. For a struggling Wisła side, this is a huge statement result that could kickstart a revival, while Jagiellonia's toothless attack in Kraków will raise questions about their title credentials.
