Latvia striker Vladislavs Gutkovskis completed the full game and found the net with an impressive long-distance strike during the Tricity derby, though Arka Gdynia ultimately suffered a 2-1 defeat against Lechia Gdańsk in Poland’s second division.
Gutkovskis brought the score level in the 47th minute by managing to control the ball while under pressure, subsequently curling an outside-the-box shot straight into the far top corner. However, Lechia managed to restore their advantage just four minutes later.
The forward has now found the back of the net in two consecutive outings, both occurring after he was stripped of Arka’s captaincy following the international break. Previously, he endured a five-match league drought following a strong start to the season that featured four goals and a single assist across his opening four fixtures. Consequently, his overall statistics for the campaign currently sit at six goals and one assist across 11 matches.
Meanwhile, Arka’s winless run in the league has extended to seven fixtures, a stretch consisting of two draws and five losses. Having suffered relegation from the Ekstraklasa during the previous campaign, the team currently occupies 15th position in the 18-team standings with 11 points, leaving them seven points away from the promotion play-off spots.
