After the advance between PGE GiEK SKRA Bełchatów and GKS Katowice, and Saturday’s action that delivered two hard-fought five-set encounters, with ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle and Podziemia Kredowe ChKS Chełm emerging victorious after dramatic battles, Round 5 of 2026/27 Tauron Liga continued today with other three games delivering contrasting stories: a commanding performance from Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie, a much-needed breakthrough for Energa Trefl Gdańsk and a solid away victory for PGE Projekt Warszawa.

The afternoon’s headline clash saw Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie defeat Asseco Resovia Rzeszów 3-0 (25:19, 28:26, 25:18) at Hala Podpromie. Despite the expectations surrounding the encounter between two of Poland’s leading teams, the reigning champions proved superior in the opening and closing sets, while the second provided the most intense battle of the afternoon. Resovia had opportunities to turn the set in their favour, but Zawiercie remained composed, with Mateusz Bieniek ultimately sealing it with an ace at 28-26. The visitors’ superiority was also reflected in the match statistics: Zawiercie recorded 44 attack points against Resovia’s 34, nine aces compared with just one, and ten blocks to the hosts’ five. Tomasz Fornal was the standout performer, earning the MVP award after scoring 15 points with 53% attacking efficiency. He also produced a 119 km/h serve to claim the Red Bull Super Ace distinction. The victory marked Zawiercie’s fifth consecutive win, further confirming their ambitions in the championship race. For Resovia, it was their second defeat of the season.

In Suwałki, Energa Trefl Gdańsk finally found the breakthrough they had been searching for, defeating Ślepsk Malow Suwałki 2-3 (24:26, 27:25, 25:23, 19:25, 12:15) in a thrilling encounter. The visitors entered the match under considerable pressure, having collected only one point from their first four league appearances and sitting at the bottom of the standings. They made a promising start, winning a tense opening set, but Suwałki responded by taking the next two and moving within one set of victory. Gdańsk refused to surrender, however, regaining control in the fourth set before delivering a determined performance in the tie-break. The decisive moments were closely contested, with both sides level at 10-10 before Gdańsk pulled away. Damian Schulz delivered the final point at 15-12, completing the comeback and securing Trefl’s first victory of the 2026/27 campaign. Michał Gierżot was named MVP, while Suwałki’s Bartosz Filipiak finished with an outstanding 32 points and earned the Red Bull Super Ace award with a 108 km/h serve. Filipiak came close to surpassing his personal record of 35 points in a single match, set during the 2017/18 season while playing for Łuczniczka Bydgoszcz. Despite the victory, Gdańsk remained at the bottom of the table, but the two points could prove an important turning point in their season.

The evening concluded with PGE Projekt Warszawa claiming a 1-3 away victory over Jastrzębie Barkom (21:25, 18:25, 25:23, 23:25). The capital side started strongly, controlling the first two sets through effective attacking and consistent pressure from the service line. Jastrzębie Barkom responded in the third, raising their intensity and taking advantage of a brief lapse from the visitors to reduce the deficit. The hosts also appeared close to forcing a tie-break in the fourth set, building an 18-21 advantage. Projekt Warszawa nevertheless showed composure under pressure, fighting back to level at 21-21 before closing the set 25-23. Jan Firlej was awarded the MVP distinction for his contribution to the visitors’ victory, while Yuri Romano emerged as one of the key offensive leaders. The match was also played in front of a remarkably small crowd of just 469 spectators, reflecting the difficult atmosphere surrounding Jastrzębie Barkom’s relocation to Jastrzębie-Zdrój and the ongoing controversy over the club’s presence in the city. On the court, however, Projekt Warszawa secured three valuable points, strengthening their position among the leading teams in the league.

Sunday’s results therefore brought a fifth consecutive victory for defending champions, a first and much-needed win for Trefl Gdańsk, and another important success for Projekt Warszawa. As the season progresses, the battle for the top positions remains intense, while teams at the other end of the standings will be looking to turn their performances into crucial points in the coming rounds.
Round 5 will close tomorrow with The clash between Energa Indykpol AZS Olsztyn and undefeated BOGDANKA LUK Lublin.
