Tychy 71 went through to the next round of the Cup with a 1:0 victory over Zagłębie Sosnowiec in the Round of 128 on Tuesday evening. The match took place on 5 August and the home side held on for a narrow win that keeps their campaign alive.
The decisive moment came when M. Lewandowski got over the line in the 37th minute. It was a single strike that separated the two sides, and by then Tychy had already established enough control to see out the remainder without further incident.
Home dominance showed up in the numbers, with Tychy registering 110 attacks against 84 for the visitors. They also held 55 per cent of possession, which translated into more sustained pressure even if the scoreboard did not blow out.
Shots tell a slightly different story. Zagłębie managed six on target to four, yet only found the back of the net once across the entire game. The visitors had more attempts but could not convert, while Tychy made their chances count.
The result leaves Tychy 71 one step closer to progressing, with Zagłębie Sosnowiec now facing the reality of elimination from the competition.
