In their first match, the Poles lost 2-7 to the Russians. The Spaniards, on the other hand, had to recognize the superiority of Belarus in their premier meeting, which won 4-0.
The Poles started the match brilliantly and quickly took the lead. The goal was scored by Jakub Jesionowski, making great use of the exact restart of the game from the car.
Later, in the first period, “White-Reds” still had their chances. One of them was wasted by Filip Gac, hitting volley. Our goalkeeper, Krystian Karolak, also worked on a good note, stopping the opponent’s shot in a difficult situation in installments.
It was also dangerous under our goal when Krystian Klawikowski unfortunately withdrew the ball to Karolak, who fortunately managed to catch up with her, protecting his friend from a suicide hit.
Karolak himself wanted to score a goal. So he banged from a distance, and Francisco Lopez, just in case, nudged the ball with his hands, carrying it over the bar.
The second period could also have started great for “Biało-Czerwonych”, but Filip Gac’s shot was saved by the goalkeeper. After a while, Jesionowski was close to scoring the second goal, but standing right next to the post, he hit the ball with his belly and instead of enjoying the goal, he needed a break.
Unfortunately, the missed chances took their revenge when Eduard Molina tried it perfectly from a distance. Karolak caught in a lunge had almost no chance of an effective intervention.
The Spaniards quickly followed the blow and only a few dozen seconds later they were leading 3-1. Then Jose Arias also scored a 4-1 goal.
Just before the end of the second period, Jesionowski again tried to surprise the opponents’ goalkeeper with his head, but he was the winner. So before the start of the third period, we were losing by three goals. It was close to a four-goal loss, but the Spaniards threw the ball into our goal after the final siren.
In the first seconds of the last part of the game, Karolak saved “Biało-Czerwonych” twice. He capitulated on the third strike, and Eduard was happy with the hat-trick.
Patryk Pietrasiak responded to the hail of rivals’ goals in a beautiful style. He took advantage of the goalkeeper’s mistake – passing inaccurately away from his goal – and lobbed it by not accepting the ball. A few minutes later he hit his head inaccurately.
Four minutes before the end of the match, Karolak kept a lot of cold blood, who went towards Eduard, shortening the angle, which made the Spaniard miss the target from close range.
Ultimately, the Spaniards defeated the Polish national team 5-2.
