Piast Gliwice Crushes Gieksa in Silesian Derby

Early Goals and Total Control by Piast

Playing in new kits, the home side applied relentless early pressure. According to match accounts, Leandro Sanca opened the scoring in the 5th minute after fighting through four defenders inside the penalty area to fire past goalkeeper Gabriel Kobylak. Piast maintained an optical advantage throughout the half. In the 35th minute, Quentin Boisgard delivered a corner kick that found Juande Rivas, whose header doubled the lead to 2:0. Rivas scored in his second match, while Gieksa struggled to mount a serious offensive response against a defense marshaled by Jakub Czerwiński.

Second-Half Sealed Victory by Hugo Vallejo

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Gliwiczanie dictating the tempo. Despite missed opportunities from Ivan Lima and Hugo Vallejo earlier in the half, Piast kept GKS Katowice quiet. According to match records, Gieksa’s attempts through Bartosz Nowak, Mateusz Kowalczyk, and Ilja Szkurin—who scored three goals in his previous match—failed to beat goalkeeper Domen Gril. In the 85th minute, substitute Maćka Kucharski set up Hugo Vallejo, and the Spanish winger unleashed a strike from outside the box into the top corner to seal the 3:0 final score.
