Arka will definitely not advance in this round, and Podbeskidzie will not be relegated. However, neither of these teams can be happy with a draw. This is also some complications for Lechia. If they win against GKS Tychy tomorrow, they will have to wait for GKS Katowice to lose points to enjoy promotion.
Arka clearly won the shots on target statistics 7:1, but in the second half they played worse than before the break, which is shown by the balance of ball possession – 52:48 in favor of Podbeskidzie.
The closest to a goal for the yellow and blue team was Sidibe (ARKA Gdynia), who sent the ball into the crossbar, and in the added time Gaprindashvili (ARKA Gdynia) scored another dangerous shot. However, Lenarcik (ARKA Gdynia) was employed the most by Jodłowiec (Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała).
It was very tense on the bench. Cards were flying because the staff members did not understand the main referee’s decision. Certainly, the biggest controversy is the red card for Milewski (ARKA Gdynia), who received both cards within a dozen or so seconds after a minor foul. It looked as if the referee showed the first card because the player… clapped after whistling a foul, and then there must have been some verbal altercation.
Another major weakness for Arka is the injury of Gojny, who injured his hand in a collision with… Kobacki.
