Jastrzębie secured a convincing 5-2 win against Kraków in a club friendly on Thursday, 4 September. The visitors took control early and never looked back, stretching the back line with fluid attacks. Kraków, by then, had lost four of their previous five matches, including heavy defeats to Liptovský Mikuláš and Spišská Nová Ves.
The home side tried to hold every card they had, but Jastrzębie were too sharp in the final third. To be fair, Kraków showed glimpses of their old self, particularly in the first half, but could not sustain it. The visitors made the difference with composed finishing.
Recent results paint a stark picture for both sides. Kraków's form has been inconsistent — a 3-2 win over Přerov stood out, but losses to Bytom and Vsetín followed. Jastrzębie, meanwhile, had mixed fortunes: a 4-0 thrashing of Martin contrasted with defeats to Poruba and AZ Havířov.
This friendly offered little in terms of competitive stakes, but the scoreline told its own story. Kraków's defensive frailties were exposed once again, while Jastrzębie's attack found rhythm. By then, the outcome was never in doubt.
