Aniol Toruń claimed a 3:2 victory over Mikievits Kluczbork in the opening round of the 1st League on Friday evening. The result handed the visitors their first points of the campaign while the hosts started the season with a setback. Both sides sit at the bottom of the table with zero games recorded so far this term.
The match carried extra weight given the recent history between the two clubs. They met three times in May, with Aniol winning twice — 3:1 and 3:2 — before a 0:3 defeat at Mikievits. The visitors have not lost since that May 26 fixture and came into this round carrying momentum from September friendlies.
We had backed the home side at 70 per cent confidence, but the match went the other way. Mikievits paid for a sloppy opening period, allowing Aniol to establish control early. The hosts responded well but could not find the consistency needed to turn the game around.
Mikievits Kluczbork had looked sharp in their last two outings, beating Spala and Beskidy both 3:0. Aniol Toruń, meanwhile, had dropped points in their most recent fixture before the break. The contrast in form did not reflect in the final tally, where the away side proved more clinical when it mattered.
The result leaves both teams level on points with one game played. Aniol Toruń take the advantage of having secured their first victory, while Mikievits Kluczbork will need to regroup quickly for the next round.
