Nürnberg II vs Legia Warszawa

Marek Papszun made 10 changes at the interval, introducing Otto Hindrich, Kamil Piątkowski, Bartosz Kapustka and Rajović among others. The fresh legs brought greater control but little incision for long stretches. Nürnberg held firm until the 76th minute, when a Legia attack drew a foul inside the box and the referee pointed to the spot. Rajović stepped up and converted the penalty to level the scores.

Nürnberg almost snatched a late winner when Chiumento's long-range effort rattled the crossbar, but the match finished 2-2.

Moritz Wiezorrek (Nürnberg II) — Scored the opener and was a constant threat on the right flank before being substituted on the hour. Booked for a late challenge.

Rafał Adamski (Legia) — Took his goal well after a poor first-half miss. His movement troubled the Nürnberg backline throughout his 45-minute shift.

Mileta Rajović (Legia) — Entered at half-time and scored the crucial penalty. The Danish striker's physical presence changed the dynamic of Legia's attack.

Jan Bienduga (Legia) — The 17-year-old goalkeeper endured a difficult debut, conceding twice inside 19 minutes, but showed composure in possession and made one sharp save to deny Luca Schulten early on.

Legia dominated possession in the first half without creating clear chances — the story of the opening 30 minutes was Nürnberg's ruthless efficiency on the counter-attack. The two goals from three shots on target reflected a clinical edge from the Regionalliga Bayern champions. After the interval, Legia's complete XI change shifted the balance territorially, but Nürnberg remained organised and only cracked from the penalty spot.

This was Legia's second pre-season outing under Marek Papszun, following a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich II on 27 June. The Polish Ekstraklasa champions return to Warsaw to continue preparations ahead of the 2026/27 season. Nürnberg II, the reigning Regionalliga Bayern champions, extended their unbeaten pre-season start after a 1-1 draw with SK Kladno in their first friendly. Both sides will take positives from a competitive workout at the adidas campus.

A fair result in a game of two distinct halves. Nürnberg II showed they can compete with top-tier opposition for sustained periods, while Legia's resilience — and squad depth — was evident in the fightback. Papszun will want sharper finishing from his forwards but the character to recover from 2-0 down is a useful early-season trait.
