Podlasie Biała Podlaska vs Polonia Warszawa U19

Polonia's U19 side struck first with barely a minute on the clock. Patryk Tyszko found the net in the 2nd minute, giving the junior visitors a surprise early lead at the training complex on ul. Zdanowskiego.

Podlasie responded inside ten minutes. Dmytro Kopytov levelled in the 12th minute, and the same player put the III Liga side ahead six minutes before half-time, making it 2-1 at the break.

Podlasie controlled the second half and sealed the result in the 74th minute when Maciej Orzechowski converted a penalty, his first goal of the pre-season campaign.

Polonia's early goal threatened to disrupt Podlasie's rhythm, but Kopytov's 12th-minute equaliser came within ten minutes of the setback and restored order. His second goal on the stroke of half-time — Kopytov's third goal across two friendlies — gave Podlasie a lead they never looked like relinquishing.

Dmytro Kopytov — scored twice (12', 39') to take his pre-season tally to three goals in two appearances. The forward also found the net in Podlasie's 5-1 opening friendly win over Orlęta Radzyń Podlaski on 10 July.

Maciej Orzechowski — the midfielder, who extended his contract on 8 July for the 2026/27 season, converted the 74th-minute penalty to seal the result. He also captained the side from midfield.

Patryk Tyszko — Polonia's goalscorer, who netted the opener inside two minutes, giving the academy side a brief but encouraging lead.

Player of the match: Dmytro Kopytov (Podlasie Biała Podlaska)

Podlasie's 3-1 scoreline and four-goal match total mirror the pattern of their first friendly, where they also scored five. The 2-1 half-time lead shows Podlasie responded quickly to conceding first — the equaliser came within ten minutes of Tyszko's opener. The penalty in the 74th minute suggests Podlasie maintained attacking pressure into the latter stages against a younger opponent whose fitness may have waned. No cards were recorded, typical for a pre-season friendly focused on minutes rather than intensity.

Podlasie Biała Podlaska — preparing for the 2026/27 III Liga season (group IV) — have won both pre-season friendlies so far, scoring eight goals across two matches. The club confirmed on 15 July the signing of Ukrainian right-back Dmytro Bondar, who may feature in upcoming friendlies. Polonia Warszawa U19, competing in the Central Junior League, continue their own pre-season schedule. Podlasie's next friendly is scheduled for 22 July 2026, also at home, against a team yet to be confirmed.

A controlled pre-season performance from Podlasie, who recovered from an early sucker-punch to dominate through Kopytov's finishing and Orzechowski's leadership. The III Liga side's depth is showing early; the youth of Polonia U19 had moments but lacked the physical edge to sustain the challenge across 90 minutes.
