Wisła Kraków defeated Śląsk Wrocław 2:1 in the 9th round of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa. Although, after Ángel Rodado's goal and Wisła's dominance, the visitors equalized in the 76th minute, captain Alan Uryga secured the White Star's fifth consecutive home victory and promotion to second place in the table with a last-gasp goal in the 93rd minute.
The White Star imposed its own conditions on the Wrocław side from the opening minutes and quickly began creating danger in front of Karol Niemczycki's goal. Alan Uryga came close in the 5th minute, with his header narrowly missing the post. Śląsk's response did not take long, but Marcel Łubik confidently saved Ieltsin Camões's shot. The hosts' advantage was rewarded in the 16th minute: Kacper Duda impressively got past his opponent on the right wing and crossed into the penalty area, where Ángel Rodado found space brilliantly. The Spaniard beat his marker and opened the scoring with a well-placed shot, scoring his fourth goal of the season. Wisła controlled events on the pitch, while Marko Božić, Darijo Grujčić and Élie Youan also looked for chances before the break, with the visitors' goalkeeper saving Youan's effort.
After the break, Mariusz Jop's charges continued searching for a second goal. In the 51st minute, Jakub Krzyżanowski opted for a shot from outside the penalty area, after which the ball narrowly missed the post. Shortly afterward, Youan missed a good opportunity, while Niemczycki struggled to parry a dangerous long-range effort from Božić. The missed chances came back to haunt Wisła in the 76th minute, when one of Śląsk's few attacks ended with an equalizer from 18-year-old substitute Adam Ciućka.
However, conceding did not discourage the hosts. The White Star pushed for victory, once again pinning the visitors inside their penalty area. In the 87th minute, Rodado came close to scoring after Duda's pass, and shortly afterward Wisła made several attempts to break through the Wrocław side's compact defense. The decisive blow came in stoppage time. After a foul on Raoul Giger, Wisła were awarded a free kick, and following Julius Ertlthaler's cross into the penalty area, Alan Uryga headed the ball into the net, sending the stadium on Reymonta Street into euphoria in the 93rd minute! After reviewing the VAR footage, referee Łukasz Kuźma confirmed the goal and shortly afterward ended the match, sealing the White Star's 2:1 victory.
