Football. Świt draws with former Ekstraklasa champions

The players from Skolwin drew with the two-time Polish champions, who not so long ago played in the top league, and the division of points can be considered deserved, although the visitors had slightly more good scoring opportunities.

Second football league: ŚWIT Szczecin - WARTA Poznań 1:1 (1:1); 0:1 Marcel Zylla (3), 1:1 Grzegorz Aftyka (26).

DAWN: Jakub Raczykowski - Szymon Nowicki (74 Kacper Nowak), Rafał Remisz, Sebastian Rogala, Jędrzej Góral, Aleksander Woźniak (54 Miłosz Nowik) - Kacper Wojdak, Jurij Tkaczuk, Dawid Kort (74 Maciej Koziara) - Szymon Kapelusz (83 Alan Dziuniak), Grzegorz Aftyka (83 Kacper Żendełek)

Yellow cards: Tkaczuk, Remisz, Wojdak - Karol Dziedzic. Referee: Paweł Horożaniecki (Żary). 400 spectators, including a dozen or so ultras from Poznań.

The match started badly for Szczecin, as Bayern Munich-trained Zylla gave Warta the lead in the third minute with a shot from just a few meters. Moments later, Poznań could have doubled their lead when Stefaniak found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but his lobbed Rajczyk wide. We're also unsure if this move was offside... In the 26th minute, Aftyka equalized with a fine shot from Kort. Two minutes later, Aftyka found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but it was from a very tight angle, and the Szczecin native's shot went wide of the far post. In the 37th minute, Michał Smoczyński headed a shot from just a few meters out, but Rajczykowski tipped the ball over the crossbar for a corner. Kort responded with a counter-attack from just a few meters out, but Leo Przybyłak saved. Four minutes later, the Szczecin goalkeeper successfully saved Kacper Rychert's shot. In stoppage time of the first half, Kapelusz found himself in a favorable position, but he passed to Aftyka, and the visitors managed to organize a defense. In the final seconds before the break, Kort finished off a combination move from Skolwin with a shot, but the opponents blocked the shot for a corner.

The match was evenly matched for fifteen minutes of the second half, until Raczykowski deflected a Poznań player's shot for a corner, and in the closing stages, our goalkeeper twice saved dangerous shots from Filip Waluś, Sunday's best player. In the 86th minute, the Warta goalkeeper saved a dangerous free kick from Tkaczuk, who had recently played for the Poznań club (as had another Świt player, Nowik). In the 90th minute, the visitors had a match point, but Igor Kornobis's shot was parried by Raczykowski, while Waluś's rebound sailed over the crossbar, ending the match in a draw. ©℗ (mij)
