Wieczysta Kraków were beaten 2-1 by Artis in a Club Friendly, a result that overturned the pre-match expectations of the Lemeister model, which had made the home side a 42 per cent favourite and projected a 2-1 win in their favour. Instead, Artis struck twice inside the opening 14 minutes through L. Fila and R. Breite, and although Paulinho pulled one back before half-time, the visitors held on without the contest being decided by a single, late flashpoint.
The decisive phase of the match arrived inside the opening quarter-hour. L. Fila put Artis ahead in the third minute, converting a normal goal that gave the visitors an immediate foothold. That advantage was doubled in the 14th minute when R. Breite also found the net, again from open play and without a listed assist. Wieczysta Kraków responded well, reducing the deficit in the 33rd minute through Paulinho, who scored their only goal of the afternoon. That 2-1 scoreline held through the second half, with neither side able to add to the tally.
The second half offered no further scoring, but the data shows it was not without incident. Wieczysta Kraków were shown the only yellow card of the match in the 76th minute, a booking that underlined a period of increased physicality as the hosts pushed for an equaliser. The home side also made 11 substitutions across the match, reflecting the friendly nature of the fixture, while Artis made no changes at all. That disparity in squad turnover did not translate into a late surge from Wieczysta, who could not find a way past the Artis defence for a second time.
The match statistics themselves are not available in the structured data, making it impossible to analyse possession, shots, expected goals or passing accuracy with any precision. However, the narrative of a fast start from Artis and a sustained but ultimately unsuccessful response from Wieczysta is consistent with the goal timings and the card issued in the second half. The three goals were all of the normal type, with no penalties or own goals influencing the outcome, and no assists were recorded for any of the scorers.
Given the absence of player ratings in the data, the stand-out performers must be assessed purely by their goal contributions. L. Fila and R. Breite were the match-winners for Artis, each scoring inside the first 14 minutes to create a lead that proved unassailable. Paulinho was the Wieczysta Kraków player who registered on the scoresheet, halving the deficit with just over an hour still to play, but the home side could not build on that momentum. No other player from either team is named in the data made available for this report.
The result represents a clear reversal of the Lemeister model’s pre-match projection. Wieczysta Kraków had been forecast as the most likely winners with a 42 per cent probability, and the model had them scoring two goals to Artis’s one. Instead, Artis’s early double gave them a lead they guarded effectively, and the final score of 2-1 was the mirror image of the projection. For a friendly, the competitive edge was evident in the yellow card and the home side’s multiple substitutions, but Artis left with the victory.
