Górnik Zabrze returned to the cup throne after more than half a century of waiting. Michal Gašparík’s team defeated Raków Częstochowa 2-0, won the Polish Cup and secured not only a prestigious success, but also a significant financial reward. The club from Roosevelt will receive PLN 5 million.
Górnik Zabrze won the Polish Cup
The Polish Cup final ended with the victory of Górnik Zabrze over Raków Częstochowa 2-0. This is a special triumph for Zabrze, as the club won this trophy for the seventh time in its history, but the last time it won was in 1972. This means the end of a very long wait for success in this competition.
The team led by Michal Gašparík took advantage of their opportunity in the most important match of the season. Raków, which had been regularly fighting for national trophies in recent years, this time had to acknowledge the superiority of its rival. For Górnik, this is not only a sports breakthrough, but also a strong impulse before the end of the league.
How much did Górnik earn for the triumph?
Górnik Zabrze will receive PLN 5 million for winning the entire competition. This is definitely the highest bonus in this year’s edition of the Polish Cup and an amount that may have a real impact on the club’s budget.
Raków Częstochowa, as a finalist, will receive one million zlotys. Prizes are also provided for teams that finished their participation earlier. The losing quarterfinalists received PLN 190,000 each, and Zawisza Bydgoszcz and GKS Katowice, the semifinalists, will receive PLN 380,000 each.
Historic success after years of break
Górnik has many great moments in its history, but it waited an exceptionally long time for another Polish Cup triumph. The seventh victory in this competition allows the club to add a new chapter to its rich tradition.
Legia Warszawa remains the record holder of the Polish Cup, having won the trophy 21 times. Górnik’s success, however, is of great importance for Zabrze, because it reminds us that the club can still fight for the most important national goals and attract the attention of the entire Polish football community.
Górnik returns to the league with additional energy
After the final, Zabrze must quickly return to the competition in the Ekstraklasa. Górnik is in second place in the table, so the end of the season may be very important for him also in the context of the fight for the highest positions.
The closest rival of Gašparík’s team will be Zagłębie Lubin. Raków, which must rebuild morale after the defeat in the final, is preparing for the match with Korona Kielce. The season is still in progress for both teams, but Górnik will start the next matches with a trophy, a bonus and the feeling that it has broken the long wait.
