Marcin Sągol

Matches against Fenix Siennica haven't been easy for our team in recent years, and today's match was no exception. After just under 60 minutes of play, the hosts were leading 2:0, with both goals scored by Dawid Matak. Nevertheless, Sęp didn't give up and fought till the end. After Kuba Gałkowski scored a goal in the 67th minute, Szymon Kowalski equalized at 2:2, finding the net in injury time.

The first half of the match didn't bring many scoring opportunities. Sęp tried to surprise the hosts with long-range shots, but they were either ineffective or blocked. Fenix also made their offensive moves, and just before the end of the first half, they scored in the 42nd minute. Dawid Matak was the one to make the scorer's list, striking from a distance of seventeen meters. The ball deflected off Patryk Seroczyński and went into the goal.

The beginning of the second half didn't start well for Sęp, who had to make up for the deficit. In the 58th minute, the Siennica team made a play down the right side of the field. The ball was passed to Matak positioned in the middle, who found himself in a favorable spot and confidently shot past Seroczyński for the second time.

Despite being two goals down, Sęp didn't give up. In the 67th minute, they executed a successful counterattack. A straight pass from their half between Fenix's high-set defenders allowed Kuba Gałkowski to run towards the opponent's goal. In a one-on-one situation with Mateusz Nowakowski, he shot accurately near the right post, reducing the deficit to 1:2. Until the end of regular time, Sęp didn't manage to score any more goals. The decisive move of the match, in the third minute of added time, was orchestrated by the players under Coach Gugała. Bartek Wdowiak delivered the ball from the left wing. Kuba Gałkowski tried a header but couldn't connect cleanly. However, the ball found its way to Szymon Kowalski, who confidently put it into the net, finalizing the score at 2:2.
