Górnik Zabrze came from behind to beat Śląsk Wrocław 2-1 in Ekstraklasa. The hosts fell behind early but turned the match around with two second-half goals, despite creating fewer big chances and a lower expected-goals total than their opponents.
Przemysław Banaszak put Śląsk ahead in the seventh minute, finishing a move started by Piotr Samiec-Talar. Górnik struggled to reply until Yegor Matsenko equalised in the 65th minute. The winner came 14 minutes later when Yvan Ikia Dimi scored from a Josema assist. Josema had been booked just before the equaliser, and there were further bookings for Roberto Massimo and Lamine Ba in a lively second half.
The statistics show a curious contest: Śląsk had 14 shots to Górnik's 12 and created three big chances (scoring one, missing two), while Górnik managed none and yet scored twice from an xG of just 0.67. Górnik dominated possession with 58% and completed 399 accurate passes to Śląsk's 267, but the visitors will rue not making more of their opportunities.
