AI SummaryWieczysta Kraków 2-2 Slavia Praha: Mras strikes late as Polish newcomers hold Czech champions in Austrian friendly
Tobiasz Mras scored a dramatic 88th-minute equaliser as Ekstraklasa newcomers Wieczysta Kraków held Czech champions Slavia Praha to a 2-2 draw in a pre-season friendly at the Zaunergroup Arena in Ansfelden, Austria, on 5 July 2026.
Playing in a 4x30-minute format, Wieczysta struck first when Miki Villar volleyed home from Lisandro Semedo's delivery in the 21st minute. Slavia responded through Adonija Ouanda, who finished from close range after Danijel Šturm's dribble down the left flank in the 43rd minute.
Šturm put Slavia ahead in the 57th minute with a well-taken strike, and the Czech side appeared to be in control despite Wieczysta's defensive resilience. But with time running out in the third quarter, Mras found the net with a deflected effort — the hosts' first shot on target in the second half, according to the iSport.cz live report — to make it 2-2.
The turning point
Mras's 88th-minute equaliser came against the run of play. Slavia had been the dominant side throughout the second half, creating several clear chances through Oskar Kubiak, Wiktor Nowak and Dan Kohout. Wieczysta goalkeeper Antoni Mikułko and his replacement Patryk Stechnij combined to keep the scoreline close, with Stechnij making a string of saves after entering the match at the start of the fourth quarter. The visitors' failure to convert their superiority into a decisive third goal proved costly.
Key performers
- Tobiasz Mras (Wieczysta Kraków) — ⭐ Player of the match. Entered the game in the 61st minute and scored the equaliser with Wieczysta's first shot on target of the second half. His deflected strike in the 88th minute snatched a deserved draw.
- Miki Villar (Wieczysta Kraków) — Scored the opener with a crisp volley from Semedo's cross, showing composure in the 21st minute.
- Danijel Šturm (Slavia Praha) — A constant threat down the left, he set up Ouanda's equaliser and scored Slavia's second goal himself.
- Patryk Stechnij (Wieczysta Kraków) — Made several crucial saves after replacing Mikułko at the start of the fourth quarter, including stopping efforts from Oskar Kubiak and Wiktor Nowak.
By the numbers — interpreted
The provider data shows 0 cards but the iSport.cz report confirms two yellow cards for Slavia (Glossoa 107', Rajnoha 115'), both in the fourth quarter as frustration grew. Slavia enjoyed the majority of possession and territory in the second half but managed only one goal from their period of dominance. Wieczysta's sole shot on target after the opening quarter produced the equaliser — a striking illustration of the difference between controlling play and finishing chances. Kamil Dankowski hit the crossbar from a free kick in the final minute that could have won it for Wieczysta.
What it means
This was Wieczysta's third pre-season friendly of their Austrian training camp and their first result other than a defeat (they had lost two previous matches). The Polish Ekstraklasa newcomers face a tough debut campaign after winning promotion via the play-offs in May 2026. Slavia Praha, the Czech champions, continued their inconsistent pre-season — they have yet to win in three friendlies (one loss, two draws). Two Polish players, Oskar Kubiak and Wiktor Nowak, featured for Slavia in this match.
Verdict
A classic pre-season mismatch of styles: the polished, possession-based Czech champions against a newly promoted Polish side playing with energy and organisation. Wieczysta's defensive shape and the late intervention of Mras gave them a result that will build belief ahead of their Ekstraklasa bow. Slavia will be frustrated by their wastefulness, but the fitness and sharpness will come.
