Unia Swarzędz vs Pogoń Mogilno

The scoreline was level at 1-1 at half-time, with both sides trading blows in an evenly contested opening 45 minutes. Unia struck first but Pogoń responded before the break to keep the score tight.

After the restart, Unia's third-tier class began to show. The visitors — designated as the home team in the match data — scored three times in the second half to establish a commanding lead. Pogoń Mogilno, playing their second pre-season friendly of the summer, pulled two goals back through Kędziora and Filip Jagielski, but could not prevent the 4-2 defeat.

The second half proved decisive. After a 1-1 scoreline at the break, Unia's greater depth and fitness — the product of being three weeks into their pre-season programme — allowed them to raise the tempo after the interval. The III liga side scored three second-half goals, effectively killing the contest before Pogoń's late consolation strikes.

Filip Jagielski (Pogoń Mogilno) — scored one of Pogoń's two goals and was a lively presence, continuing his role as a key attacking option for the IV liga side.

Kędziora (Pogoń Mogilno) — the other Pogoń goalscorer, whose first-half strike helped keep his side level at the break.

Unia's attacking unit — though individual scorers were not confirmed in available sources, Unia's four-goal haul across the match, including three after the break, highlighted the side's depth in the final third.

The 4-2 scoreline suggests a more open contest than it was. The 1-1 half-time score indicates a competitive first period, while the three second-half goals from Unia reflect the gap between Betclic 3 Liga (tier 3) and IV liga (tier 4) sides. The provider payload shows no detailed match statistics (possession, shots, xG) for this friendly, but the scoring pattern is consistent with a game that Unia controlled after the interval.

Unia Swarzędz continued their pre-season schedule with their fourth of five planned friendlies. They had previously faced Pogoń Nowe Skalmierzyce (10 July), Lipno Stęszew (15 July), and Sokół Kleczew (17 July), with one more test remaining against Kotwica Kórnik on 25 July before the Betclic 3 Liga season kicks off on the weekend of 1-2 August 2026. Unia finished 10th in Group 2 last season with 47 points from 34 matches (13W, 8D, 13L, goal difference 47:41).

Pogoń Mogilno, under new manager Jakub Łaganowski (appointed 30 June 2026), played their second pre-season friendly after a heavy 0-7 defeat to Polonia Golina on 18 July. The IV liga kujawsko-pomorska side will continue preparations before the regional fourth-tier season starts on the weekend of 9-10 August 2026. The improvement from the 7-0 defeat to a competitive 4-2 loss against a higher-ranked opponent represents a step in the right direction.

A valuable workout for both sides at different stages of preparation. Unia Swarzędz's second-half display showed the quality expected of a Betclic 3 Liga side, while Pogoń Mogilno's two goals and improved performance compared to their 7-0 opening friendly defeat will give Jakub Łaganowski positive signs ahead of the IV liga campaign. The gap between the third and fourth tiers in Polish football was evident, but Pogoń's fight — particularly through Kędziora and Jagielski — suggests they are building towards something more competitive.
