Górnik Zabrze defeats Śląsk Wrocław 2‑1 in Ekstraklasa opener
In the first round of the 2026/27 PKO BP Ekstraklasa, Górnik Zabrze beat Śląsk Wrocław 2–1. Śląsk took an early 1–0 lead in the seventh minute through a goal by Przemysław Banaszak. Górnik equalised in the 65th minute after Jehor Macenko inadvertently put the ball into his own net following a shot by Kacper Urbański. The winning goal came in the 79th minute when Yvan Ikia Dimi struck from a corner. Coach Michał Gašparik kept the same starting eleven as in the recent Champions‑League qualifier in Istanbul and, after the break, introduced Roberto Massimo and Sandre Liseth as substitutes. The match drew about 26 000 spectators and marked Górnik’s first league win after earlier defeats to Lech Poznań in the Supercup and to Fenerbahçe in the Champions‑League second‑round qualifier.
