Lech - Jagiellonia 1:0
Robert Lewandowski once again proved to be the hero of the day for Lech. The Kolejorz frontman scored the only goal of the game on 48 minutes, making the most of Tomasz Bandrowski's wonderful assist. Jagiellonia did threaten on occassion but Tomasz Frankowski was unable to recreate the fantastic form he showed last week and Lech's title challenge carries on strong.
Legia - Odra 4:0
Legia steamrollered Odra Wodzislaw at Lazienkowska, not giving their opponents a single chance to at least gain a modicum of respectability. Rybus, Iwanski, Giza and Roger (yes, the "Polish" Brazilian) were on target for Legia.
Wisla - Polonia Warszawa 2:1
After their opening day draw in Bytom Wisla needed a result against one of their main rivals for the title and, thanks to Pawel Brozek, they got it. Brozek, once touted as the next great talent in Polish football has taken some time to develop and live up to the hype but it seems that this may well be his season. His two goals in this fixture saw The White Star gain an invaluable three points in an evenly fought game. Polonia could do with someone of Brozek's talent in their forward line - it was all they were missing in an assured and confident performance.
Slask - Polonia Bytom 3:0
A deserved win for Slask which took them to within two points of fourth placed Polonia Warszawa. Key in their win was playmaker Marek Gancarczyk, whose passing was exceptional and created all three Slask goals. Polonia were never really in this fixture from the start and their embarassment could have been greater had it not been for Sebastian Mila's inability to convert his spot kick.
Lechia Gdansk - Ruch Chorzow 2:0
After a fairly even first half Lechia came out for the second period looking like a team on a mission and totally dominated the final 45 minutes. Krzysztof Bak opened the scoring with a header from a free-kick on 61 minutes and 20 minutes later any doubt that the three points were staying in Gdansk were dispelled by a fine headed goal from Jakub Kawa which came off both crossbar and post before crossing the line. The win takes Lechia level on points with their rivals who have looked decidedly shakey in their opening two games of the spring round.
Piast Gliwice- GKS Belchatow 1:0
Dariusz Fornalak's side showed that they have the measure of GKS, having drawn away in Belchatow in the Autumn round and taken the full complement of points this weekend. Sebastian Olszar gave the home side the lead early on in the first half and GKS could not break down the home side's defence. Piast will no doubt view this result as an opportunity to kickstart their climb out of the relegation zone.
LKS - Cracovia 4:3
LKS looked to be heading for a defeat until the 89th minute when, with the Lodzians 3:2 down, Piotr Polczak (89) and Dejan Ðenic (95) snatched the game from the visitors, leaving them in the relegation play=off spot.
Górnik - Arka 2:2
Górnik Zabrze, having spent 4 million PLN on strengthening during the winter break, whould have hoped for a better result at home against 7th placed Arka. It looked highly likely that the Zabrzans would indeed come out on top but, leading 2:1 with 10 minutes to go, their defense just wasn't strong enough to keep out Arka and they missed out on the chance of moving out of the relegation places. Still, Henryk Kasperczak must be more confident of keeping his side in Ekstraklasa than he was after the Autmn round.
