Tychy 71 vs Třinec

Třinec started the sharper of the two sides and took a deserved lead before the interval. The Czech side found the net in the first half to go into the break 1-0 up, capitalising on some early-season defensive disorganisation from the hosts. Tychy struggled to create clear-cut chances in the opening 45 minutes, with their attacking moves breaking down in the final third.

Tychy emerged with greater urgency after the restart. The equaliser arrived through Damian Kądzior, who produced a composed finish to bring the scores level at 1-1. The goal gave Tychy a platform to push for a winner, and they enjoyed the better of the second-half exchanges, but could not find a second goal.

Neither side managed to force a decisive breakthrough in the closing stages, and the match ended all square at 1-1.

• First half: Třinec open the scoring to lead 1-0 at half-time
• Second half: Damian Kądzior equalises for Tychy with a well-taken finish
• Full time: 1-1 draw in Tychy's final pre-season friendly

For GKS Tychy, the draw provides a solid foundation heading into competitive action. Kądzior's goal will be a welcome sign for a side looking to rebuild after relegation. Třinec, meanwhile, will return to their Czech second-league preparations with a creditable result against a side from a higher tier of Polish football.
