Big
Time Krakow last appeared in the 2023 edition
of this tournament. They had a steady start
with a 0-0 draw against Cream of the South and
1-1 draw against RAF. They got their first win
on the board with a 1-0 victory over CBT FC
but then tasted defeat (2-1) to Mngball FC.
They finished off with a 1-0 win over Turn Down
For Watford to qualify for the Plate. In the
Semi-Finals a third 1-0 victory of the day saw
them knockout Moles Salah. They met Mngball
FC in the Plate Final (the only team to defeat
them all day) but exacted their revenge with
a 2-0 win to lift the Plate trophy.
Today,
Big Time Krakow would be hoping to reach the
Cup instead of the Plate. They were currently
in fourth position so really needed a win to
boost their chances. The Polish team would meet
Third Degree Burnley in Round 4. The Burnley
side were currently at the foot of the table
but a win here would put them in the mix for
qualification from the group.
The
first half ended goalless, with both teams struggling
to break the deadlock. Third Degree Burnley,
despite their efforts, could not find the back
of the net, while Big Time Krakow also faced
difficulties in turning their chances into goals.
The breakthrough came in the second half, when
Kevin Ezequiel scored the only goal of the match
for Big Time Krakow. His strike proved to be
the decisive factor, as Big Time Krakow held
on to secure the win. The result was a vital
boost for the Polish team who climbed to second
place in the table with this hard-fought victory.
For Third Degree Burnley, the defeat meant they
remained in sixth place, still searching for
a breakthrough performance to improve their
position in the standings.
