Shah is again the hero of Lehia, Matsenko is one of the best: the results of the sixth round of the Ekstraklasa
0
28 goals were scored in nine matches of the sixth round, in which everything finally went smoothly. The average performance exceeded the mark of three goals per game. But at the same time, only 11 goals were scored in the six matches of Friday and Saturday (less than two on average per match), and 17 in the three games of Sunday (slightly less than six)!!! All six teams that played on Sunday scored at least twice.
It is quite logical that it is much more desirable to dwell on Sunday's games, in which only the guests won. At the same time, Gurnyk lost points for the first time in the season, although they were leading 2:1 before the start of stoppage time, but two goals by the former player of Dynamo Shkurin not only allowed GCS to avoid defeat, but also to win away from the vice-champion. I would like to add that Shkurin opened the scoring in the match, and thanks to a hat trick he took second place in the scorers' dispute. He now has 5 goals and is one goal behind the Spaniard Jordi Sanchez from Wisla Krakow.
But Rakuv, on the contrary, continues to lose to everyone. The team does not have a single point, and in four matches, one of the best teams of last season has already conceded 11 times. Rakuv's example once again shows the importance of a coach in modern football. It was worth leaving for Marek Papshun, under whose leadership Rakuv won both the National Cup and the championship for the first time, as the team began to fall, and the club directorate cannot guess with a new coach.
The last time the team started with four losses in the Ekstraklasa was almost a decade and a half ago, when in the 2012/13 season GKS Belkhatów started the season with defeats against Wisla Kraków, Legia, Widzew and Lech. But Belkhatuv then missed only 6 goals, not 11, like Rakuv now. By the way, GKS was relegated that season, taking the last place.
Rakuve decided to part ways with the next head coach — 37-year-old David Krochek.
The match in Łódź was no less interesting and dramatic than in Zabrze, where the national champion Lech came to visit Widzew. By the middle of the first half, Lech led 2-0, but Widzev showed character and fought back, thanks to a blunder by the visiting goalkeeper. However, in the sixth compensated minute, Lech won thanks to an extraordinary mistake by another goalkeeper, already the hosts, the most experienced Drongovbroadcasteri. The ex-goalkeeper of Fiorentina, Empoli, Panathinaikos came out for an interception, managed to reach the ball earlier than the opponent and banally failed to knock the ball out! At least because of these stupid goalkeeper goals, I recommend watching the match review, if, of course, you didn't watch the game itself.
I will also note that one of the goals for Lech was scored by the former striker of Zori, the Iranian Sayadmanesh.
Again, the huge number of goals scored at the end of the matches catches the eye. And mostly goals that changed the outcome of the match. In stoppage time, Lech won in Łódź, GKS avoided defeat and scored the winning goal in Zabrze, Warsaw Legia in the most interesting match in the fifth stoppage time saved themselves from a home defeat against newcomer Słonsk. In the match between Motor and Piast, the score was 0:0 until the 78th minute, after which the guests scored twice. With the score 2:2 in the last 15 minutes of the match, Rakow missed three goals from Jagiellonia. Well, Wisla scored the second goal in the 80th minute (2:0) in the Kraków derby against Vechysta, which was led by ex-coach of Dinamo Zagreb and Dinamo Bucharest, Croatian Željko Kopić (it was his debut). That is, 10 goals were scored in the last 15 minutes of the matches and in the compensated time. Moreover, six of them influenced the result and the position in the tournament table.
Formally, Legia is leading there, having 12 points in six matches, 10 each for Lech (4 matches) and Wisla Krakow (6), 9 each for Jagiellonia (4) and Gurnik (4), five more teams have 8 points.
About ours in this tour.
Roman Yakuba from Zaglembe made his first start after injury. He played in the position of left center behind three center backs and spent the entire match. He received a yellow card at the end of the first half. Despite the fact that Zaglembe did not miss (0-0 with Pogonnia), Yakuba received a low score of 6.6-6.8 and was considered the worst of the three center backs. The statistics are really not impressive. Passing accuracy 76%, 1 of 7 diagonals passed, 4 of nine long passes, won 50% of the duels at the top, and lost both at the bottom. Two ball returns and two interceptions are also not very many.
Yehor Matsenko from Shlionsk, as usual, played right central defender behind three center backs. Played great. His ratings of 7.5-7.7 are very high, but unfortunately he got injured at the end of the match and was substituted in the 82nd minute. He followed the score 1:0 in favor of his team, but without Matsenko, Shlionsk could not hold on to victory and missed the comp
