Match Analysis
AI SummaryHow it unfolded
Hamulic opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, giving Wisła a 1–0 lead they carried into half-time — confirmed by the provider payload's half-time score of 1–0. Kuchko doubled the lead in the 62nd minute, and Sekulski added a third in the 87th minute to round off the scoring (per SoccerPunter match events). The match was played behind closed doors without media or public attendance, as confirmed by lodz.pl.
The turning point
Hamulic's first-half opener gave Wisła a platform to control the game. ŁKS, chasing the contest against a higher-division opponent, had no answer to Kuchko's second goal midway through the second half — a two-goal deficit against an Ekstraklasa defence proved too steep. The 3–0 scoreline reflected Wisła's efficiency rather than total dominance, but the game was effectively settled by the 62nd minute.
Key performers
- Said Hamulic — scored the vital first goal (32'), settling any early nerves and forcing ŁKS to open up.
- Gleb Kuchko — doubled the lead (62') and effectively ended the contest as a competitive fixture.
- Łukasz Sekulski — added a third (87') against his former club, a familiar source of goals in pre-season for Wisła.
By the numbers — interpreted
The provider payload records a 3–0 final scoreline (1–0 at half-time). Three different scorers reflect a Wisła squad with multiple attacking threats, while ŁKS failed to find the net for the second time in three pre-season outings — they lost 0–4 to Dinamo Bucharest and managed only two goals against fourth-tier Unia Skierniewice (2–2 on 11 July, also behind closed doors, per lodz.pl).
What it means
This was ŁKS Łódź's final pre-season friendly before the 2026/27 Betclic 1 Liga campaign. Their summer run ended mixed: a 2–1 win over Radomiak Radom, a 2–2 draw with Unia Skierniewice, a 0–4 loss to Dinamo Bucharest, and this 0–3 defeat. Manager Grzegorz Szoka will be concerned about a defence that conceded seven goals across the last two friendlies. ŁKS open their league season away to Pogoń Siedlce on Saturday 25 July, with their team presentation scheduled for Wednesday 22 July at Stadion im. Władysława Króla (per lodz.pl).
Wisła Płock, who finished eighth in Ekstraklasa last season, extended their unbeaten pre-season run. They have won four of five friendlies (2–1 vs Pogoń Grodzisk, 3–0 vs Polonia Warszawa, 2–0 vs Bohemians, drew 2–2 with Baník Ostrava) and conceded only three goals across those fixtures (per Wisła Płock official plan).
Verdict
A straightforward friendly that confirmed the division gap. Wisła were efficient, compact, and never needed top gear. ŁKS have clear defensive issues to resolve in the final week before their league opener against Pogoń Siedlce.
