Stal Brzeg vs Polonia Nysa

Sobków broke the deadlock in the 19th minute, finishing from close range after a sustained period of Stal pressure. The yellow-and-blues doubled their lead just before the first period ended when Nowak found the net in the 44th minute, making it 2-0 at the first break.

The match was contested in three 30-minute thirds, confirmed by Stal Brzeg's official social media channels. No further goals were scored in the remaining two periods, with both sides making multiple changes as is customary in pre-season friendlies.

Nowak's 44th-minute goal — arriving right on the cusp of the first interval — gave Stal Brzeg a two-goal buffer that Polonia never threatened to overturn. Against a team that had beaten GKS Bełchatów (2-1) and Zagłębie Sosnowiec (2-0) in earlier friendlies, the double strike before the first break effectively settled the contest.

Eryk Sobków — opened the scoring with a well-taken 19th-minute strike, his third pre-season goal in consecutive friendlies after also featuring against Polonia Nysa in a 3-1 win in July 2025.

Maksymilian Nowak — doubled the lead with a clinically finished 44th-minute goal, showing sharp movement in the box.

Stal Brzeg defence — kept a clean sheet against a Polonia Nysa side that had scored four goals across their previous two pre-season outings, a promising sign ahead of competitive fixtures.

The provider payload confirms a 2-0 scoreline (HT 2-0) with no second-half goals in the final two of the three 30-minute periods. While detailed shot and possession data is not available for this friendly, the first-half double suggests Stal Brzeg started with greater intensity, a common pattern in pre-season fixtures where fitness levels and squad rotation play a significant role after the break.

This was Stal Brzeg's third of four pre-season friendlies (Sparing nr 3). They followed it with a 0-1 loss to Orzeł Marszowice on 25 July. The Betclic 3 Liga Group 3 season begins on 31 July or 1 August 2026 against KS Panattoni Goczałkowice-Zdrój, managed by former Borussia Dortmund defender Łukasz Piszczek — one of the title favourites.

Polonia Nysa also face their own league campaign, having retained their third-tier status after Skra Częstochowa's withdrawal allowed them to stay up despite a relegation finish. They played Moto Jelcz Oława on 25 July, winning 2-1.

A disciplined, professional pre-season display from Stal Brzeg. Two first-half goals and a clean sheet is exactly what Smółka would have wanted ahead of a daunting opener against Goczałkowice-Zdrój. Polonia Nysa, still rebuilding after 19 summer departures, will take more from the fitness work than the result.
