In the 12th round of the Polish PlusLiga, Jastrzębski Węgiel continued their dominance, securing a convincing 3-0 win over Ślepsk Malow Suwałki. This triumph keeps them at the pinnacle of the league table, just a point ahead of Projekt Warszawa, who also clinched a win in this round.
Key players for Jastrzębski Węgiel were Tomasz Fornal and Jurij Gladyr, contributing 13 and 11 points respectively, with Bartosz Filipiak scoring 12 for Ślepsk Malow. Jastrzębski’s superior attack (65% effectiveness) and their formidable defense with 10 blocks to their opponent’s 5 were pivotal in their win. Benjamin Toniutti was named MVP.
In another key matchup, Grupa Azoty ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle faced a setback, losing 1-3 to Projekt Warszawa.

This loss, their sixth of the season, complicates ZAKSA’s aspirations for a spot in the Polish Cup final tournament.
In the final highlight of the round, Exact Systems Hemarpol Częstochowa, new entrants to the league, pulled off an important 3-1 victory against KGHM Cuprum Lubin.
