The visitors controlled the tie from start to finish, scoring early and maintaining a relentless attacking rhythm that carried them comfortably into the next round.

Match overview

APLG Gdansk Women opened the scoring early and never allowed their hosts to settle. Their midfield won the majority of second balls, while the forward line repeatedly found space between Warsaw’s centre-backs and full-backs. Warsaw attempted to defend in numbers, but the constant pressure eventually created clear openings.

By halftime, Gdansk had built a convincing lead. The second half followed a similar pattern, with the visitors adding further goals as Warsaw’s resistance faded. Gdansk managed the closing stages sensibly, keeping possession and protecting their clean sheet while still looking dangerous on the break.

Key moments

• Fast start: Gdansk scored early to settle any away-day nerves and force Warsaw onto the back foot.
• Clinical first half: The visitors converted their dominance into a comfortable halftime advantage.
• Second-half control: Gdansk added more goals after the restart and never allowed Warsaw a route back into the tie.
• Clean sheet secured: The Gdansk defence stayed organised to finish the match without conceding.

Tactical story

APLG Gdansk Women used a high pressing approach to disrupt Warsaw’s build-up play. Their midfielders pressed in coordinated waves, forcing errors and creating chances close to goal. When Warsaw did manage to break the first line of pressure, Gdansk’s defenders stepped up quickly to squeeze the space and recover possession.

In attack, Gdansk’s width was a decisive factor. The wingers stretched the Warsaw back line, opening central spaces for late runs into the box. The visitors also looked dangerous from set pieces, adding another dimension to an already varied attacking performance. Warsaw, meanwhile, struggled to sustain possession and rarely threatened the Gdansk goal.

Standout performers

Gdansk’s attacking players shared the scoring load, making the team difficult to defend. The central striker linked play effectively and occupied the Warsaw centre-backs, while the wide forwards provided pace and direct running. In midfield, Gdansk’s deep-lying playmaker dictated the tempo and repeatedly switched the point of attack.

The Gdansk goalkeeper was rarely tested but remained focused when called upon, helping secure the clean sheet. For Warsaw, the result was a harsh lesson in cup football, but the experience of facing a strong opponent should prove valuable as the season continues.

Cup run and what it means

The 7-0 win sends APLG Gdansk Women into the next round of the Poland Women’s Cup with confidence and momentum. A dominant away performance of this kind can be a powerful statement in knockout competition, where goal difference does not matter but confidence and squad depth do. Gdansk will now await their next opponent, while AZS KU Uniwersytetu Warsaw (w) will turn their attention back to league commitments and the challenge of bouncing back from a difficult cup night.
