Match Recap
Dawid Tkacz settled this Cup tie with a 32nd-minute strike, enough to send Górnik Łęczna past GKS Katowice 1-0. One goal, one moment of composure, and that was the difference in a tie that otherwise stayed tense from kickoff to final whistle. Górnik's defense did the rest, holding firm for nearly an hour after Tkacz's finish to protect a slender lead against a GKS Katowice side chasing an equalizer. Neither club's main firepower made the difference here, not even league-leading scorer W. Jakubik, whose 4 goals this season came from elsewhere entirely. Instead it was Tkacz stepping up in the moment that mattered, the kind of goal that decides cup football: not a flurry of chances converted, just one clean strike taken when it counted. Górnik Łęczna move on in the competition on the back of it, while GKS Katowice are left to reflect on a game they couldn't find a way back into.
