The goal came swift and early, perhaps catching KS Cracovia off guard and forcing them to play a catch-up game for the rest of the match.
KS Cracovia dominated the corner kicks with 9 attempts versus Puszcza Niepolomice’s 3. More often than not, a greater number of corner kicks would indicate more opportunities at goal. However, the failure to capitalise on these corners epitomises KS Cracovia's lack of scoring prowess in this match.

Looking at the disciplinary side, Puszcza Niepolomice picked up a total of 4 yellow cards as opposed to KS Cracovia's 2. Indicative of a tighter, perhaps more aggressive gameplay by Puszcza Niepolomice, they were however, not reduced in number at any point of time, managing to avoid red cards.
The foul count for the match stood at 6-4 in favour of Puszcza Niepolomice. This suggests that while KS Cracovia was the more disciplined side, they were not aggressive enough which is visible in their lack of goal conversion.
KS Cracovia proved to be tactically disciplined by not being caught offside at any point during the match, whereas Puszcza Niepolomice were charged with 2 offsides. However, this did not have a significant impact on the outcome given that they managed to slip one into the back of the net early on.
In conclusion, despite possessing a major chunk of set-piece opportunities, KS Cracovia fell short due to their inability to convert these into goals. Puszcza Niepolomice, on the other hand, shielded their early lead fiercely and despite accumulating more fouls and yellow cards, they held their fort till the end. A notable performance indeed!
