Šlonsk Wrocław II secured a 3-2 victory over Stal Stalowa Wola in the Cup round of 128 on 5 August 2026. The home side held their nerve after trailing in the closing stages to keep their knockout campaign alive. By then, the tie hung by a thread after Stal's late strike.
I. Kobelczuk opened the scoring in the thirteenth minute, giving the hosts an early advantage. To be fair, the momentum shifted quickly when Stal failed to convert a penalty in the twenty-seventh minute. That miss kept Šlonsk within striking distance when they needed it most.
A. Chrzanowski doubled the lead before the break with a goal in the thirty-seventh minute. The home side looked comfortable for long stretches, controlling play through their mid-park. And here's the thing — they could have been further ahead if they had been clinical.
M. Sliwa dragged Stal back into contention with a goal in the fifty-sixth minute. The visitors had been the more aggressive side throughout, registering 110 attacks to 71. Their pressure finally told when they found the equaliser after the interval.
W. Kaminski restored Šlonsk's advantage in the seventy-third minute, but the match was not yet settled. Stal responded in the ninety-second minute to level the scores, sending the game to a dramatic conclusion. The away side never got going early enough to control the tempo.
Šlonsk registered six shots on target from 71 attacks, while Stal managed only four attempts on target despite 110 attacks. Possession sat at 41 per cent for the hosts against 59 per cent for their visitors. The statistics tell you how the game played out, but not how it felt.
The result means Šlonsk remain in the Cup with a home advantage for the next round. Stal's campaign ends here, having pushed the hosts to the final whistle. Money has come for the hosts in terms of progression, but the work is not finished yet.
