In the closely contested Ekstraklasa match held on 23 July 2023, Widzew Lodz emerged victorious over Puszcza Niepolomice with a 3-2 scoreline. Many factors contributed to this outcome, including a higher number of corner kicks, strategic goal timing, and more aggressive offense by Widzew Lodz.

Puszcza Niepolomice started the match confidently, scoring the game's opening goal just 8 minutes and 9 seconds into the first half. However, Widzew Lodz responded in the 35th minute, leveling the match at 1-1. Both home team goals in the second half at the 55th and 92nd minutes, quickly shifted the momentum to Widzew Lodz, while Puszcza's late game attempt at a 99th-minute comeback goal was not enough to salvage the game.

Statistically, the game was lopsided with Widzew Lodz dominating the corner kicks by 5-1, potentially indicating superior offensive possession and pressure. Corner kicks often provide opportunities for scoring, which Widzew Lodz capitalized on.

In terms of discipline, Widzew Lodz was the more aggressive side with three yellow cards handed out – one in the first half and two in the second half. Despite this, Puszcza Niepolomice was unable to capitalize on these moments of reduced pressure from their opposition.

Puszcza, with fewer fouls (7 to 11) and no yellow cards, maintained a cleaner slate, but the reduced aggressiveness may have contributed to their lower attacking output compared to Widzew's three goals scored.

Offside was another crucial contributing factor in this match, with Widzew Lodz being caught offside three times as compared to only once for Puszcza Niepolomice. This suggests Widzew Lodz took a more risk-oriented strategy in their attack which, despite leading to offsides, may have contributed to creating scoring opportunities.

Notably, no red cards were issued in the match, suggesting a balance between aggressive play and sportsmanship maintained by both teams.

Though Widzew Lodz’s discipline could be considered a point of concern due to the number of yellow cards, overall, their performance was strong. Their urge to attack and create goal-scoring opportunities arguably led to their victory. The combination of strategic aggression and intent tipped the balance in their favor over Puszcza Niepolomice, resulting in a thrilling 3-2 match outcome. Even though Puszcza Niepolomice played cleanly, they were unable to convert this advantage into an on-field victory.
