Puszcza vs Korona: A Close Match Clashes for Survival in League – Analysis and Highlights

If we were to answer the question of who should be kicked out of the sixteenth place so that the league loses its color as little as possible, we would say that it is not Puszcza or Korona . Especially not in the version we saw today in a match between two teams fighting to avoid relegation. Perhaps the quality was not very good in this meeting, but there was passion, enthusiasm, willingness to solve things here and now? Of course! Although the game ended in a draw, neither team has this share of points. And it was likely that one team would not meet their goals.

Puszcza was definitely better in the first half.

In the second, Korona was much better.

So the result is fair.

We associate games of this type with a good score, too many faults and, as a result, an unusual number of cards. League players usually want to settle scores with volitional factors, not football. It was different in the clash between Puszcza and Korona. The former wanted to get closer to winning by doing what they do best – set pieces. The latter tried to gain control of their opponent and deal with issues with the ball at their feet. And we like this survival game the most.

Korona completely slept through the first half. What did she think? It’s hard to tell. Szykawka was waiting for the balls. Nothing was working out for Remacle. Krogstad, as he usually does, passed mostly to the nearest player. Podgórski said that he would play like Kamil Kuzera from his best years in the “Band of Freaks” – he argued with his competitors, rudely hit Zapolnik’s jaw with his shoulder (it didn’t come out for the second half, he went to the hospital), he also knocked down Serafin earlier, the balls in this were not very small. Treja? There was a day when he was completely barren and left during the break. The Kielce team was more in danger after Kwiecień’s bomb shot from outside the penalty area. The ball flew like a bullet, but Zych managed to knock it onto his goal post. It looked like it was close, but you can’t say that Korona had this match in hand.

On the contrary. The same Kwiecień said in frustration during the break that Puszcza stood with the whole team in the penalty area and that was why it was difficult to play against them. However, it is a serious misunderstanding to reduce the game of the team from Niepołomice to only standing in the sixteen. Because, yes, Tułacz’s team defended solidly and basically didn’t allow Korona to do anything special, but they also attacked effectively and often had visitors in the visitors’ penalty area. She scored – shock, disbelief, surprise, something completely unbelievable – after a set piece. The ball goes to Craciun, he shoots on goal, Dziekoński shoots to the side, Korona makes a mistake in marking (Zator didn’t know what to do at all), and puts the ball into Jakub’s net from close range.

The situation is completely predictable.

Of course, this was not the only time when Puszcza was a threat after set pieces. It was close in the second half, when Hajda tried to take advantage of Serafina throwing in with scissors (!), but unfortunately (he would have had the goal of the round) he hit the post . At the same time, Jakub could aim to be in the eleven, if not for the mistake that connected Korona to oxygen. Podgórski seemed to be making a completely senseless attempt at a shot, a shot on the ground with his left foot from a distance without certainty or strength, but it was made sense by a Ukrainian defender from Niepołomice who cleared it to suddenly the sight in front of him. of himself, where Remacle benefited from the gift. The Belgian did not have good competition today, but at that time he kept his cool and easily beat Zych, who was in good form today.

Goalkeeper Puszcza also showed his skills when Trojak hit the crossbar. At the same time, the agent shot Lee technically right on the post. That’s right, the ball hit the frame four times today. Forsell’s shots did not work, because he appeared on the pitch in the second half and first shot in an aerial position, and then from a free shot from a good distance. The first attempt went over the goal, the second stopped at the players who were standing in the wall.

The good news for Puszcza is that he did not allow himself to be overtaken by the Kielce team in this direct clash (if the hosts had won, the Krakow team would have dropped to sixteenth place, and so it would be better for him to draw). On the other hand, Korona still has several teams within reach that need to be careful, and he himself should play as he did in the last two games if he wants to stay alive. Today, the Kielce team did not take advantage of their opportunity, but it cannot be said that they are in the dark. Something stirred in Kuzera’s team. The question is whether this “movement” will be enough to secure league status for next season.
