BIALYSTOK, Poland (Interstat) — Substitute Deni Jurić scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to lift Wisla Plock to a 2-1 victory over Jag Bialystok in a Polish Ekstraklasa match on Saturday, flipping the script on the home side at Chorten Arena.

The result, played on March 21, 2026, was a significant upset according to pregame projections. Statistical models heavily favored Jag Bialystok, giving them an 83 percent probability to win and predicting a 1-1 draw.

Wisla Plock defied those odds with a resilient performance, anchored by a two-goal outing from forward Samed Baždar. He opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving the visitors an early advantage. Jag Bialystok found an equalizer in the 20th minute through Jurić, who had just entered the match. The assist came from fellow substitute Dani Pacheco.

The game appeared headed for the projected draw until the final moments of second-half stoppage time. In the 90+3 minute, Jurić struck again, completing his brace and securing all three points for Wisla Plock. Dion Caleapeni was credited with the assist on the decisive goal. Caleapeni and Pacheco both received yellow cards during the match, in the 7th and 90+5 minutes, respectively.

The victory marked a measure of revenge for Wisla Plock, which suffered a 1-0 loss at home to Jag Bialystok in the reverse fixture on Sept. 19, 2025.

With the win, Wisla Plock improved its Ekstraklasa record to 10 wins, nine draws and seven losses this season. The club’s record across all competitions is identical, as its participation appears limited to domestic play. The loss halted momentum for Jag Bialystok, which saw its league record move to 13 wins, eight draws and eight losses. However, its overall record across all competitions remains strong at 22 wins, eight draws and 10 losses, indicating a deeper run in other tournaments.

The match was a tale of effective substitutions. Wisla Plock’s Jurić, entering the game in the 20th minute, provided the crucial finishing touch. His two goals on the day were the clear key performance, followed by Baždar’s early opener for the visitors. The assists from Pacheco and Caleapeni, both also substitutes, proved equally vital in orchestrating the comeback and the winner.

For Wisla Plock, the result builds on a mixed run of recent form, which included a 2-1 win over Cracovia on March 14 but a 3-0 loss to Arka Gdynia on March 9. Jag Bialystok entered the contest following a 2-1 victory over GKS Katowice on March 17 and a 2-1 loss to Piast Gliwice on March 14.

Looking ahead, Wisla Plock will continue its Ekstraklasa campaign with a visit to GKS Katowice on April 4. Jag Bialystok faces a quick turnaround with a busy schedule, hosting Lech Poznan on April 4 in the league followed by a match against Pogon Szczecin on April 5.
