3 – 1
“Against the run of play, Ibrahima Camara punishes Katowice's wastefulness in front of goal to give Radomiak a surprise lead. Katowice had gone close through Grzesik and Shkurin in the preceding minutes but could not convert, and Radomiak made them pay.”
Pivotal“Abdoul Tapsoba turns the ball into his own net to level proceedings in what proves to be a pivotal moment of misfortune for Radomiak. The equaliser came in a frantic passage of play and immediately shifted momentum back to Katowice.”
Pivotal“Ilya Shkurin puts Katowice ahead for the first time in the match, converting from a corner to give the hosts a lead they would not relinquish. The goal, arriving just eight minutes after the equaliser, knocked the wind out of Radomiak who had no answer thereafter.”
Pivotal“Bartosz Nowak adds a third in stoppage time to put the scoreline beyond any doubt, capping a dominant second-half performance from Katowice who had registered 20 shots across the match and finally converted their numerical superiority into a convincing margin of victory.”

Radomiak Radom
Outstanding performance
Katowice•AttackerKatowice were the dominant force throughout — controlling 56% of possession, registering 20 shots to Radomiak's eight, and creating five big chances — yet they spent the best part of the first half chasing the game after Ibrahima Camara's 37th-minute strike gave Radomiak a somewhat flattering lead against the run of play. The hosts had gone close on multiple occasions before the break, with Grzesik and Shkurin both spurning chances, and it took an unfortunate Abdoul Tapsoba own goal on 58 minutes to restore parity. From that moment Katowice seized control completely, and Shkurin's 66th-minute header from a corner put them ahead for the first time. A bookings-laden second half — eight yellows in total, including a cluster of cards between the 72nd and 83rd minutes — underscored the mounting frustration in the Radomiak camp as they struggled to find a response. Bartosz Nowak wrapped matters up in stoppage time, confirming what the statistics had suggested for much of the afternoon: that Radomiak simply had no answer to Katowice's pressing and attacking volume. The result keeps Katowice firmly in the picture at the right end of the Ekstraklasa table, while Radomiak's form concerns deepen after failing to hold a lead they had worked hard to protect.
