Orange Ekstraklasa Week 25

GKS Belhatow and Zaglebie Lubin are still neck and neck for the title race as they beat both of their opponents respectively.

GKS Belchatow beat strugglers Gornik Zabrze 3-1 with winter import Costly Molina scoring two of the goals and bringing up his season tally to 4 goals.

To keep up with GKS, Zaglebie Lubin had to win over title challengers Korona Kielce in which they did 2-0 with 21 year old midfielder Pietron scoring both of the goals. With this loss Zaglebie has now opened up a 9 point lead over Korona in the tittle race.

Last year's champions Legia Warsawa grabed the opportunity to move up into third place with not to convincing 3-1 win over bottom layers Pogon Sczecin who now look pretty bad to escape the baraze spot. But this score dos not tell the story of the game, Legia left it late to confirm their win with an own goal in the 90th minute. The big surprise result was Odra Wodzislaw's win over Wisla Krakow 2-1 in a very physical match with plenty of yellow cards and two reds for Wisla. Wisla started the game of great with a goal in the 5th minute by National Team player Dariusz Dudka but soon fell behind in the second half. Another surprise you could say was the 2-2 result of Cracovia and bottom dwellers Wisla Plock.

In one match in which there was no surprise was the 2-1 win of newly crowned Puchar Polski champions Groclin against Arka Gdynia in a mediocre played games with a nice goal being scored by Jarolaw Lato. One of the more exciting games of this week was Lech Poznan's 2-1 win over LKS Lodz with Piotr Reiss getting his 99th goal in his career on a nice strike from a cross. Now finally Widzew Lodz has returned to a winning streak with a nice 3-0 win over corruptionists Gornik Leczna.

So now we have only 4 more weeks left in the season and with GKS Belchatow and Zaglebie Lubin making a nine point gap between themselves and the third place Legia and a 12 point lead over Wisla Krakow which makes these two top teams pretty much untouchable but who knows anything can happen.......
