A brace, and Ángel Rodado takes the afternoon — 8.52
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Ángel Rodado provided it, and the 8.52 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A defender's afternoon for Ervin Omić
Defensive actions: 28. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
Match22 Jul 2028
8 unbeaten for Wisla Krakow
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Wisla Krakow did not have in the autumn.

Jakub Krzyżanowski is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Karol Tokarczyk is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Wisla Krakow is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Tempers go at Wisla Krakow
Henrique Trevisan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

A late step up for Yuji Kitajima
At 27 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Graduation day at Wisla Krakow
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Words at Wisla Krakow training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Maciej Kuziemka is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
