Slask Wroclaw II beat Beskid 3-1 in the Round of 64 of the Cup on Wednesday evening. The visitors took control early and never looked back, despite Beskid's opening goal. It was a straightforward evening for the away side, who moved through the rounds without fuss.
And here's the thing about this match — Beskid struck first. R. Shkitun found the net in the third minute, catching the visitors off-guard. But Slask responded quickly. M. Stangret equalised just ten minutes later, and the momentum shifted. To be fair, Beskid had their moment, but it didn't last.
By then, the second half had barely begun and Slask were already ahead. An unnamed player scored around the half-hour mark of the second period, and Stangret added his second in the fifty-second minute. Beskid's manager brought on D. Markowski and P. Mazan at the interval, but the changes didn't alter the course of the game. Things came to a head when Muszynski made it 3-1 in the eighty-ninth minute.
There were three yellow cards on the night. M. Krzewinski received his book in the seventieth minute, another player was cautioned shortly after, and M. Tudruj went off with a booking in the eighty-third. Slask's manager made three changes — Markowski and Mazan at the break, Wroblewski early in the second half, and Coulibaly before the end. Stangret was taken off in the eighty-second, having done all he could.
Beskid's recent form offers little comfort. They lost 3-0 to Hoiniczanka in their last outing back in September. Slask, meanwhile, have had mixed results — a 3-2 win against Stal Stalowa Wola, a 3-4 defeat to Barich Sulow, and losses to Slavia Prague II and Ruch Chorzow. This victory keeps them moving forward in the competition.
