Local clubs score meaningful, although mixed, international victories

Polish football team Wisla Krakow beat NK Primorje in Slovenia 2:0 in the first round of the UEFA cup. "We will go through to the next round, but we still have to remain cautious of our opponents," said Wisla player Maciej Zurawski, hoping that players will not allow a bout of increased confidence go to their heads. Things did not go easy, as the Polish team had some trouble scoring during the match. In FIFA ranking Slovenia is ahead of Poland and even famous Croatia. However in UEFA club ranking, Wisla Krakow is hundred places ahead of the Slovenian team and this could be clearly seen during the match. "It was not a quality game, but the victory is still satisfying," said Wisla coach Henryk Kasperczak. In other matches that were played today, Legia Warsaw beat FC Utrecht 4:1 with its defender Jacek Zielinski playing outstandingly well and scoring the first goal.
