Wisla Plock vs Pelikan Łowicz

Pelikan, who play in Betclic 3 Liga (Group I), had no answer to Wisła's sharp finishing in the opening 30 minutes. The home side struck three times before the half-hour mark to build a commanding lead, leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb after the break.

Pelikan emerged with renewed purpose in the second half. Centre-back Jakub Skibiński pulled one back in the 67th minute, rising to head home from a set-piece situation. He struck again later in the half to make it 3-2, but Wisła's reserves held firm to see out the win.

Wisła's blistering first-half spell — three goals inside 30 minutes — effectively decided the match. Pelikan's second-half fightback was admirable, but the three-goal deficit proved too steep to fully overturn despite Skibiński's double. Had Pelikan's response come earlier, the outcome might have differed.

Jakub Skibiński (Pelikan Łowicz) — The centre-back was his side's standout player, scoring both goals in the second half. His first, a header from a set piece in the 67th minute, gave Pelikan a lifeline, and he added a second to set up a tense finish.

Wisła II front line — Unnamed in the match report but ruthlessly effective in the first half, converting three chances inside the opening half-hour to build the platform for victory.

Wisła II's 3-0 half-time lead suggests a dominant first 45 minutes, but Pelikan's 2-0 second-half showing (on the scoreboard) indicates a more balanced contest after the break. The raw 3-2 scoreline flatters the home side's overall control of the match; the first-half flurry was decisive, but Pelikan had the better of the second period and created enough chances to have earned a draw.

This was Pelikan's fourth pre-season friendly under coach Piotr Kocęba. Their preparation record now stands at one win (2-1 vs Świt Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki), one draw (2-2 vs Piaseczno), and two defeats (0-1 vs Polonia II Warszawa and this 2-3 loss).

Pelikan have two more friendlies before the competitive season begins: on 25 July they face Mszczonowianka Mszczonów and KS Kutno in a double-header at Łaguszew. The Betclic 3 Liga season kicks off on 1 August, when Pelikan host ŁKS Łomża at 18:00 at their home ground in Łowicz.

For Wisła Płock's first team, pre-season continues under coach Misiura. The senior side's next scheduled friendly was on 17 July against ŁKS Łódź at the ORLEN Stadion, and they are preparing for the 2026/27 PKO BP Ekstraklasa campaign.

A routine pre-season friendly that Wisła II controlled through a blistering first-half spell. Pelikan's second-half fightback — led by Skibiński's brace — gave the scoreline respectability and offered encouraging signs for Kocęba's side ahead of their 3 Liga opener. The gap between the teams' tempo and sharpness in the opening half-hour, however, was the clear difference.
