Late Adrian Ortiz penalty salvage point for Warta against Czarny Dunajec after returning back to league action.

Very difficult match after the team returned back to league action against Czarny Dunajec who earned their first point in this season of the NSL Outdoor league by splitting a point on 1:1 draw.

It took Warta a while to get into the rhythm of the match as youthful squad was called up to face last place Dunajec that proved to be stronger then the team anticipated.

Samir Ghiasi had the first opportunity in the 15th minute of play but his shot was straight at the keeper.

Few minutes later, Czarny had their clear chance from corner kick that was bounced out and the rebound had to be cleared off the line by defender.

Czarny Dunajec took the lead in the 34th minute off a quick counter attack and the mistake by Warta player gave the visitors one on one opportunity to take the lead.

Warta was quiet most of the first half, until Adrian Ortiz shot just missed the far post in the final minute before halftime break.

In second half, Warta made adjustment and were much better team during that frame of 45 minutes. First chance came just four minutes after restart as Ortiz free kick shot was saved by the keeper.

Warta kept the pressure up by pushing more players up field forcing Czarny back deep into their half, Warta had two chances in spam of one minute as header went just wide in the 76th minute and then shot over the bar in the 77th minute.

Constant pressure and chances were rewarded as Warta got a huge break in the 83rd minute after Jose Castellanos was fouled inside the penalty box for penalty.  Adrian Ortiz took the responsibility and made no mistake about it, as he powered the shot past diving keeper to make it 1:1 game.

Warta now with the momentum in the match, kept the pressure up and almost got the winner late in the game as a glancing header by Bukola Abdulwahab just missed the top far corner and Warta had to settle for a point at the end of the match.

Disappointing result by the home side who did not played well on this night but the second half improved performance earned them a point.
