Despite his short time in Portugal, the player decided to answer journalists' questions in their native language. This gesture was perceived as proof of immense respect for the local culture and rapid acclimatization. The club's social media published the interview recording, which quickly became a hit, and the player himself was hailed as the "Man of the Match."

The victory over Rio Ave allows the team to maintain pace in the race for the championship title. „Estou feliz com a vitória e a assistência, mas o mais importante é a equipa. Sinto-me em casa aqui.” (I'm happy with the victory and the assist, but the most important thing is the team. I feel at home here.) — Oskar Pietuszewski It is worth noting that Pietuszewski is not the only former Jagiellonia player continuing his career abroad – Aziel Jackson currently represents Vancouver Whitecaps.
