Radomiak Radom vs Pogoń Siedlce

Dzięcioł opened the scoring for the visitors in the first half, putting Pogoń ahead against their top-flight hosts. Radomiak answered through Tapsoba, who restored parity to send the teams in level at 1-1 at the break.

Pogoń made six changes at half-time, introducing two trialists, Damian Jakubik, Rafał Makowski and others. One of the trialists found the net in the second half to make it 2-1 — a goal that proved decisive. Radomiak could not find a second equaliser, and the match finished 2-1 to the visitors.

Pogoń's half-time reshuffle changed the dynamic. With six fresh legs on the pitch, including two trialists, the visitors gained the upper hand. The trialist attacker's goal — his only notable contribution in his 45-minute audition — was the difference between the sides. Radomiak, who had controlled periods of the first half after equalising, could not regain their rhythm against the reshaped Pogoń XI.

Ernest Dzięcioł (Pogoń Siedlce) — The defender opened the scoring, giving Pogoń a platform in the first half, and was solid at the back before being substituted.

Abdoul Tapsoba (Radomiak Radom) — The striker produced a composed finish to level the scores at 1-1, Radomiak's most dangerous attacking outlet on the day.

Trialist (Pogoń Siedlce) — The unnamed trialist scored the winning goal, strengthening his case for a contract with the club ahead of the new season.

The 1-1 half-time scoreline reflected a balanced opening period, with both sides creating chances. Pogoń's deeper squad rotation — six changes at the break versus Radomiak's more gradual substitutions — swung the second half in their favour. For Radomiak, this was their second consecutive pre-season defeat after a 3-1 loss to Legia Warszawa on 14 July, suggesting defensive issues that manager João Henriques will need to address before the Ekstraklasa gets underway.

This was the final friendly for both sides. Pogoń Siedlce open their Betclic I liga campaign at home against ŁKS Łódź on Saturday 25 July (15:30 local time). Radomiak Radom turn to the start of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa season, looking to improve on last term's 10th-place finish.

For Pogoń, the win caps a mixed pre-season — they lost 4-1 to Jagiellonia Białystok on 4 July and 3-0 to Unia Skierniewice on 27 June — but beating top-flight opposition provides a confidence boost. For Radomiak, back-to-back defeats leave questions ahead of the league opener.

A typical pre-season friendly where fitness and squad rotation took priority over the scoreline. Pogoń's trialist earned his moment, while Radomiak have defensive work ahead. The result matters less than the minutes logged, but Pogoń will take encouragement from outperforming their Ekstraklasa opponents.
