The match, played in Poland, served as a tribute for the 120th anniversary of KS Cracovia. Sevilla FC, coming off a narrow victory in their first friendly against Juventud de Torremolinos, displayed a game with little rhythm and limited offensive depth during the first half. They barely troubled the goal defended by Madejski and struggled against the home team's advances.
In the second half, the Andalusian team attempted to seek an equalizer with greater impetus, but individual quality was insufficient to match a lower-tier opponent. Torrential rain, the combative attitude of the Polish players, and the referee's leniency marred the end of the match. To worsen the situation, Oso, whose departure from the club seems imminent, was sent off.
The first clear chance fell to Sevilla FC in the third minute, with a header from Isaac following a cross from Juan Iglesias that narrowly missed the crossbar. The Sevillian attack generated danger mainly down the right flank, with Miguel Sierra and the former Getafe CF defender being the most active players.
However, Luis García Plaza's team faded as the first half progressed, allowing KS Cracovia to approach their penalty area. Sangante made a crucial intervention under the posts, preventing a local goal. Shortly after, Adjin Hasìc put the Polish side ahead with a spectacular free-kick, unstoppable for Vlachodimos.
The one-goal lead at halftime could have been larger. The hosts had a clear counter-attack that Sangante once again thwarted. For Sevilla, Miguel Sierra hit the post with a shot. Sierra and Peque were the only ones capable of stirring the attack of a Sevilla FC that was outplayed.
After the break, Sevilla FC came out with more determination, raising their defensive line and increasing pressure. However, the onset of torrential rain and puddles made ball circulation difficult, making it almost impossible to string plays together. Oso, Ejuke, and Manu Bueno tried unsuccessfully to revitalize the team.
The final minutes were marked by rough play and scuffles, detracting from the celebratory nature of the anniversary. Oso was sent off after kicking a ball at a linesman. Jesús Cruz and Miguel Sierra received tackles that raised the tension between both teams. The referee added no extra time, confirming the first defeat of the season for a Sevilla FC that shows doubts with the league start still some way off.
