Nea Salamis vs Radomiak Radom

Radomiak's momentum after Manu's second goal was undone by a defensive lapse in stoppage time. Having fought back from two goals down, the Polish side switched off at a decisive moment, allowing Louká to ghost in and finish from close range. The concession will concern Radomiak head coach with the Ekstraklasa season already underway.

• Manu (Radomiak Radom): The forward scored twice in 11 second-half minutes (66', 77') to drag his side level. His movement and finishing were the standout individual contributions of the match.
• Panagiótis Louká (Nea Salamis): The 90th-minute match-winner showed composure beyond his years to snatch the victory late on.
• Jordi Quintillà (Nea Salamis): Opened the scoring with a well-taken goal in the 48th minute and was a creative force throughout the second half.
• Chrístos Gioússi (Nea Salamis): Doubled the lead with a 64th-minute strike and was a constant threat down the flank.

Radomiak fielded a heavily rotated side, with several first-team regulars rested after the league match against Wieczysta Kraków the previous day (24 July). The 90minut.pl match report confirms that players Maciej Gołąbek and Michał Stępień featured from the reserves. Nea Salamis, still in early pre-season preparation, showed greater sharpness in the second half, scoring three times after the interval. The five-goal second half suggests both sides prioritised fitness work over defensive solidity, typical of mid-summer friendlies.

For Radomiak Radom, this was a wake-up call ahead of their next Ekstraklasa fixture against GKS Katowice. Having played a league match just 24 hours earlier, this was always going to be a disjointed performance. Nea Salamis continued their pre-season tour of Poland with a confidence-boosting win against top-flight opposition as they prepare for life back in the Cypriot First Division. Jérémy Blasco received the only booking of the match.

A typical pre-season friendly in terms of defensive looseness and mass substitutions, but a valuable workout for both sides. Manu's double was the highlight for Radomiak, but Nea Salamis' late winner showed the resilience that will serve them well in the coming campaign.
