To kick off the fourth round of the Ekstraklasa, Korona Kielce kicked off their match against Radomiak Radom at the Suzuki Arena in Kielce. As part of the "Holy War," players from both teams were particularly focused on not disappointing their fans.
Jacek Zieliński's team launched a powerful attack from the opening minutes, and after a brilliant move by Wiktor Długosz, they could have taken a 1-0 lead, enlivening the match from the very beginning. Moments later, Długosz, once again, made a solo run, evading two opponents, and if he had made a better decision in the penalty area, it could have been 2-0. However, it wasn't to be, and the players had to fight on.
Radomiak was invisible in this match, creating few chances, and their ineffectiveness was offset by Korona Kielce's excellent defensive play. Korona, after a superb pass to Dawid Błanik, who executed a beautiful move, slotted the ball into the net from distance.
Radomiak regained some momentum later in the match, but captain Capemba sustained an injury after a play and was unable to continue. This play was one of the few positives from the visitors' first half.
The end of the first half was marred by controversy. Filip Majchrowicz, trying to clear the ball, hit a Korona player in the face, and referee Paweł Raczkowski made a bizarre decision, awarding a penalty and showing the goalkeeper a yellow card.
The second half was filled with excitement. Radomiak had a fantastic chance to score, but it didn't materialize – Jacek Zieliński's defense was impenetrable. Korona proved to be the better side in this match, with defender Konstantinos Sotiriou slotting the ball into the net. The hosts calmed the game down, making it 3-0 and effectively sealing the match.
The end of the match saw more controversial decisions from the referee, but they had no significant impact on the result of the match, which ended 3-0.
Unfortunately, the visiting fans were unable to join in the cheering. Korona fans, on the other hand, sold out almost the entire stadium—nearly 13,500 of them attended the match.
