Piast Gliwice beat GKS Katowice 3-0 in Ekstraklasa, but the scoreline flattered them. Katowice had more shots and the higher expected-goals figure, yet Piast took their chances and kept a clean sheet.
Leandro Sanca put Piast ahead in the fifth minute from Samuel Ntamack Ndimba's assist. Juande Rivas doubled the lead in the 35th minute, turning home after Quentin Boisgard's set-up, and Hugo Vallejo completed the scoring in the 85th minute with Maciej Kucharski providing the pass. Eight yellow cards were shown across the match, with no red card.
The underlying numbers show how fine the margin was: GKS Katowice had 21 shots to Piast's 11 and an xG of 1.57 against 0.87, but scored none. Piast were clinical, scoring their one big chance and putting seven of 11 attempts on target, while Katowice missed their only big chance. Both goalkeepers made four saves, but Piast's earlier goals gave Katowice too much to do.
