Wagrowiec 38 stun favourites with comeback win in Central League opener
Wagrowiec 38 came from behind to beat Katy Wrocławskie 38-36 in the Central League on Saturday evening. The hosts had led at one stage before the visitors turned the game around. It was a result that nobody saw coming, least of all those who had backed the away side.
Katy Wrocławskie sit 13th after one game, a draw and no points. Wagrowiec 38 are fourth with three points from their solitary victory. The table tells you something about where these teams stand, but not everything. Recent form suggests the visitors had momentum going in.
The last five matches for Katy Wrocławskie show mixed results — a heavy defeat to Krakow, then a run of wins. Wagrowiec 38 have been more consistent, though they lost to Chrobry Głogów and Gwardia Koszalin. By then, you wonder whether confidence matters when the whistle blows.
And here's the thing, we had predicted an away win at 95 per cent confidence. We were wrong. The hosts found something extra in the second half, and the visitors could not hold on. It was not a tactical masterclass, just a moment of difference.
The result keeps Wagrowiec 38 in the top four and leaves Katy Wrocławsie searching for their first win. Three points separate them still, but the gap feels smaller now. Football, or whatever sport this is, has its own rules.
