Polish champions did not give Wilfredo Leon and the company a chance. Show of strength in Krakow

In the completed Tauron Arena in Krakow, teams have met, which in recent weeks brought Polish fans a lot of positive emotions. On the one hand, JSW Jastrzębski Węgiel, one of two Polish teams in the Final Four of the Champions League. On the other hand, Bogdanka Luk Lublin, the winner of the Challenge Cup.

So it could be assumed that in the first semi -final fans gathered in the Krakow hall would witness a large dose of emotions. And the fragments were indeed, but you can completely determine the match with one scenario. Bogdanka Luk, even having a few -point advantage (example in the third set) that day, had on the other side of the rival’s net, who came out with an attitude – not losing this clash. And regardless of the situation. Polish champions showed that even in situations of strong pressure from the Lublin team, they are able to get to the end of the set with lead on their side.

And this lead, even minimal, but non -educated. This is shown by the results of sets. 25:23 and 25:23 in the first two scenes. The third also, point for the point. It is worth giving to the Jastrzębians that they found a way to play with a physical pressure team of a rival, imposing their conditions. Effective Łukasz Kaczmarek, in the offensive and service field, raging in defense Jakub Popiwczak (also a plus party), plus an effective block. It is also worth appreciating Thimothee Carle. At important balls, the Frenchman got them from his compatriot, Benjamin Toniutti and did his job. Plus Tomasz Fornal, it is also worth remembering the leader of the team from Jastrzębie-Zdrój.

The Lublin team was eliminated in the semi -final for the second time in a row. Again with JSW Jastrzębski. So it seems that in Krakow, Bogdanka Luk has no way to this opponent. Time will tell what it will look like in the case of the PlusLiga semi -final. Both teams will meet soon and quite soon.

MVP of the match was chosen by the captain of the winners, Benjamin Toniutti. Although it seems that that day perhaps the second of the French deserved this award, or e.g. Kaczmarek. JSW Jastrzębski will play with the winner of the second semi -final, i.e. Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie – PGE Projekt Warszawa in the Sunday finale (14:45). Beginning at 18:00.

ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle with a record. Who will win PP in 2025?

Looking at the story, the most triumphs in the struggles played since 1932-regularly appearing since the 1980/81 edition (with a one-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic)-ten times were won by volleyballers from Kędzierzyn-Koźle. Until the past year (i.e. 2024) Zaksa had a great series of five wins (and four in a row) in six editions from the 2018/19 season.

In total, ZAKSA has 13 medals in their achievements, ten zlotys and three silver. On the podium of the medal classification of the PP of all time are additionally: the second AZS Olsztyn (seven zlotys, five silver) and Skra Bełchatów (seven zlotys, three silver).

Interestingly, the top ten will also have a place for the Krakow club. It is a steelwife in Kraków, winning three times. Currently, fans in Tauron Arena will not find the “host”, and in the case of Krakow triumphs, we are talking about old times. Hutnik volleyballers won in 1974 (still as Hutnik Nowa Huta), 1988 and 1990.
