Śląsk Wrocław twice came from behind against Zagłębie Lubin to earn a 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon, despite being reduced to ten men in the 55th minute. The draw maintains new coach Tadeusz Pawłowski's unbeaten record since he took over three weeks ago.
Arkadiusz Piech gave Lubin the lead 14 minutes in via a powerful volley from just inside the box.

The celebrations were short lived however, as Wrocław were reduced to ten men just a minute later. Dudu's sliding challenge on David Abwo was deemed reckless by the referee, who flashed his card at the Brazilian defender in an instant.
Lubin piled forward to make their extra man count, and they eventually got what seemed to be the decisive goal in the 78 minute. Rymaniak's penetrating cross found Piech, who finished with aplomb to put the home side into the lead.
Śląsk battled away though, and were not going to give up without a fight. The players' endeavor eventually paid dividends in the 83rd minute, when a terrific Rafał Grodzicki header stunned the home crowd and sparked bedlam among the visiting fans.
