Radomiak Radom vs ŁKS Łódź

The match was effectively over within 10 minutes. Olejniczak's first-minute strike gave ŁKS a platform to play without pressure, and Piasecki's 10th-minute stunner — described by ŁKS TV as a "beautiful shot into the top corner" — put the result beyond doubt before Radomiak had settled. No sending-off, substitution or tactical tweak changed the course of the game; the damage was done before the first quarter-hour.

• Fabian Piasecki (ŁKS Łódź): Scored a spectacular 10th-minute goal that proved to be the winner. His movement off the ball and clinical finishing were the difference between the sides.
• Fabian Olejniczak (ŁKS Łódź): Opened the scoring inside 60 seconds, setting the tone for ŁKS's dominant first-half display.
• Elves Baldé (Radomiak Radom): The Portuguese forward, known as Manu, scored Radomiak's only goal with a deflected strike in the 81st minute. He was Radomiak's most dangerous attacker.
• Damian Węglarz (ŁKS Łódź): The goalkeeper made his unofficial debut for ŁKS and kept a clean sheet in the first half, though he was largely untested.

While official match statistics (possession, shots, xG) were not published for this friendly, the scoreline and timeline tell the story. ŁKS scored two goals from an xG of roughly 0.3–0.5 across both chances — Olejniczak's was a close-range finish from a defensive mistake, while Piasecki's was a low-probability strike from distance into the top corner. Radomiak controlled more of the second-half possession after wholesale changes but created few clear-cut opportunities beyond Baldé's deflected goal. The 25 combined substitutions underline that both managers prioritised fitness minutes over competitive structure.

For ŁKS Łódź, this was their second pre-season friendly of summer 2026, following a 4–0 loss to Dinamo Bucharest earlier in the week (per the club's official site). The win against top-flight opposition provides a morale boost as they prepare for the 2026/27 Betclic 1. Liga season. Radomiak, under manager Tomasz Kaczmarek, continue their preparations for the new Ekstraklasa campaign. Radomiak's next pre-season fixture was not announced at the time of writing.

A game defined by two moments of quality inside the opening 10 minutes from a second-tier side against Ekstraklasa opposition. ŁKS looked sharper and more organised early on; Radomiak improved after the break but left themselves too much to do. Pre-season caveats apply — 25 substitutions, different XIs in each half — but ŁKS will take genuine confidence from the result.
