Football. Derby for Błękitni, defeat for Pogoń's reserves

In the third league, the Stargard derby took center stage. The newly promoted Kluczew team, who had performed well in the first two rounds, lost to last season's runner-up. For the Ceglana team, these were just their first points in the current season. Despite leading Karłowicz 2-0 at halftime, the young reserves from Pogoń Szczecin were forced to concede victory to the experienced Polonia...

POGOŃ II Szczecin - POLONIA Środa Wlkp. 2:3 (2:0); 1:0 Natan Ława (12), 2:0 Mateusz Pieńczak (40 own goal), 1:2 Damian Kołtański (50), 2:2 Patryk Mikita (64), 2:3 Patryk Mikita (69).

The Porters' reserve team featured Rafał Jakubowski and Kacper Stanowski, who were registered by the Szczecin club for the top league competition at the end of the week, but Patryk Paryzek and Maciej Wojciechowski were not even on the bench, as their contracts expire next year and they have been removed from the first team until they extend their contracts with the club... Among the players with top league connotations, we also saw Aleks Peskovic in goal, the experienced center-back Wojciech Lisowski, the goalscorer Ława, and the youngsters: Mateusz Bąk, Kacper Berkowski, and Sebastian Rojek.

"We had a really great start to the match, played at a good pace, and right from the start, Natan Ława scored after a fast, combined attack. Before halftime, we doubled the lead with an own goal, provoked by Sebastian Rojek," said Pogoń II coach Paweł Cretti. "The second half was weaker for us, and our planned substitutions changed the course of the match. We lost control of the match for twenty minutes, and that's when we conceded three goals. After that, we played better, had chances, but couldn't equalize. Well, for now, our young team is gaining experience..."

POLISH SUGAR KLUCZEVIA Stargard - BLEKITNI Stargard 1:4 (1:2); 0:1 Konrad Prawucki (11), 1:1Dmytro Jefimenko (23), 1:2 Damian Niedojad-Bednarczyk (26), 1:3 Maciej Badowski (86), 1:4 Wojciech Fadecki (90+2 penalty).

The newly promoted side, coached by former Błękitni coach Krzysztof Kapuściński, entered the derby unbeaten with four points, but their rivals from Ceglana were looking to redeem themselves after two previous defeats and quickly took the lead after a corner kick and Prawucki's close-range shot into an empty net. The hosts equalized with a five-meter shot from Jefimenko, acquired from Flota Świnoujście in the summer, but the visitors quickly regained the lead when Niedojad-Bednarczyk capitalized on a one-on-one opportunity with the goalkeeper.

- After the break we controlled the course of events on the pitch, and in the end we increased the size of the victory, when Maciej Badowski scored the third goal, and the final result was established in stoppage time by the experienced Wojciech Fadecki, who took advantage of the penalty awarded for a foul in the penalty area - said Błękitni coach Jarosław Piskorz.

TŁUCHOWIA Tłuchowo - FLOTA Świnoujście 0:1 (0:0); 0:1 Damian Figura (68 own goal).

The match was decided in the second half when Dominik Chromiński crossed from a corner kick, and Figura, rather unluckily, headed the ball into his own net. This was the only goal of the match and the third defeat for the newcomer from Tłuchów. Although the hosts scored a goal thanks to Adrian Szczutowski's shot, the referees ruled it a goal because they deemed one of Tłuchów's players had committed a foul earlier... ©℗ (mij)
