Shah is the hero of the tour, Khlan did not score: the results of the ninth round of the Ekstraklasa
0
The reporting round of the Polish championship pleased with the results. 27 goals were scored in nine matches, that is exactly three goals on average per match. Of course, this is not close to the performance record, but at least three goals were scored in seven of the nine matches of this tour, which is really a lot.
First of all, the leader - Gurnyk from Zabrze failed to score against one of the outsiders - Lublin Motor, playing a dismal score. Gurnyk, of course, was closer to victory and, at least, three good moments were blocked by Maksym Khlan, but the fact remains: all attackers, both starting and reserve, objectively speaking, failed the match, including our Maksym, who this week received a call to the national team for the September-October training.
Zaglembe and Wisla Plotsk also played "total less than 2.5", but at least there was a surprise in this match. Wisla won the second match in a row and moved from the relegation zone to the middle of the table. At the bottom, as before, Rakuv and Vechista. Vechista saved herself on the field of Vidzev, who drew for the sixth time in nine rounds. The team's winless streak has already reached the eight-match mark.
After the victory over Motor, Rakuv took up the old and lost two matches with the same score of 2:3 during the week. The defeat against Zaglembe was especially revealing. Rakuv won the first half in this match. The score was tied until the 87th minute, and then the teams scored one after the other, with Rakuv equalizing in stoppage time and then conceding again. The guests won the victory in the 13th minute!
In the central match of the tour, Jagiellonia lost 1:3 to Legia Warsaw at home. The capital team, like the national champion Lech, is only three points behind Gurnik, and Lech has a game in hand. Lech, characteristically, won a crushing and strong-willed victory at the same time. Radomyak opened the scoring in the 16th second, scoring the fastest goal of the championship. Lech, however, scored in the 164th second, and this is the third fastest goal of the "extra-class" season. It seems that Radomyak will have a second change of coach during the season. However, the first one was forced, as the previous coach of the team, Tomasz Kaczmarek, left for Rakuv. Now the team is coached by Rafal Gzyb, but over the weekend, Englishman John Carver, ex-coach of Lechia Gdańsk, was seen in the club's office. And it is necessary: after that, Radomyak will loose, albeit to the champion, but by as much as 1:5.
As for Legia, I would like to note that in the middle of the second half, with the score 1:2, the leader of Jagiellonia, the Spaniard Jesus Imas, failed to make a face-to-face finish (the goalkeeper played brilliantly), and soon after that, Legia scored the third goal.
From the rest of the matches, we note the victory of Wisla Krakow in the battle of newcomers with Śląsk, won in the last attack, and we also recommend looking at the beautiful goal from the Spaniard Jordi Sanchez in the match between Piast and Pogon, scored with a "scissors" shot through himself.
About ours this weekend.
As was written above, Maksym Khlan, like the entire attack of Gurnyk, looked unconvincing against Motor. His grades are 6.4 - 6.6. He was the most dangerous in the Gurnik lineup, scoring five shots on goal out of 13 team shots with an xG of 0.84. But only one shot hit the goal plane. He had three real chances to score, but in his debut he hit the crossbar, at the end of the first half he shot into the "milk", and closer to the middle of the second his shot was handled by the home goalkeeper.
Left centre-back Roman Yakuba played a full game for Zaglembe against Wisla Plock and was one of the team's worst at 5.9, 5.9, 6.0. Actually, only the goalkeeper Alomerovich was rated the worst. Yakuba did not make a single tackle or interception, won only 40% of single combats, and the accuracy of his passes was 82%.
Yehor Matsenko, the right center back of Shlionska, did not have the best match either - 6.4, 6.4, 6.6. The accuracy of his passes was 91%, but he won few single combats - only 37.5%. He was beaten twice on the dribble. Instead, he has 8 clearances, including four headers, three fumble recoveries, two tackles and one interception.
The rest of the Ukrainians did not play in this round.
Instead, the tour was successful for teams with Ukrainians in the second echelon. Termalika, captained by central defender Yehor Putivtsev, won its third consecutive victory and rose to second place (direct entry to the elite), two points behind Grodzisk, while Lehia Gdańsk won for the fourth time in the last five matches, defeating Stal Mielec 7:1. The defenders of Danyla's team two - Malov and Bezkorovainy - played the entire match, but Artur Shah became the hero of the match. In this match he has a yellow card, two assists and three scored goals! That is,
