Cracovia – Radomiak ends level on 32nd-round pressure
Cracovia – Radomiak opened with pressure at both ends of the table. Cracovia needed points because they were just above Lechia Gdańsk in the relegation zone, while Radomiak Radom were heading toward a calmer finish to the season.
The match was the closing fixture of the 32nd round of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa on May 11, 2025, with kickoff scheduled for 19:00. That timing gave Cracovia a late chance to add to their total and keep distance from the zone below.
Majchrowicz and Madejski
Filip Majchrowicz stood out in one of the sharper moments, catching Mauro Perković’s headed shot. Sebastian Madejski answered at the other end by saving a cross from Elves Baldé, keeping the match tight through the early exchanges.
Those stops came in a game where chances were already being forced into narrow spaces. Mateusz Klich had a blocked shot drift just past the right post of Majchrowicz’s goal, and Jan Grzesik’s headed attempt from close range hit the post before the referee stopped play for offside.
Cracovia’s tight margin
Cracovia’s need for points sat behind every phase of the match. Being only just above Lechia Gdańsk meant the margin was thin, and every saved chance or missed header carried extra weight for the home side’s position in the table.
Radomiak entered with a different kind of pressure, one tied less to survival and more to how cleanly they could finish the campaign. That contrast shaped the game: Cracovia were fighting to widen separation, while Radomiak could play with a little more freedom.
Diéguez and Praszelik
The match also slowed when Adrián Diéguez needed medical attention, then again when Mateusz Praszelik required treatment. Those interruptions broke rhythm in a contest that was already being decided by narrow margins and defensive recovery work.
Cracovia’s immediate task was simple: take something from a match that sat at the edge of the relegation picture. Radomiak left with their calmer outlook intact, but the 19:00 kickoff in the 32nd round still delivered the sort of table pressure Cracovia could not afford to waste.
