Liptovsky Mikulas beat Katowice 5-2 in a club friendly on Friday, 5 September 2026. The result came after both sides had played on the previous day, with the Slovak side continuing a run of high-scoring matches while the Polish visitors looked for consistency after a difficult summer.
By then, the pattern was already clear from the recent results. Liptovsky Mikulas had scored seven, five, five, four and four goals in their last five outings. Katowice, meanwhile, had mixed fortunes — a win against Presov on Thursday, but losses to Rostock, Lauzicer Fuxe and Poprad earlier in the month.
And here's the thing about a 5-2 scoreline in a friendly. It tells you more about the teams' confidence than anything else. Liptovsky Mikulas have been putting goals away freely, while Katowice have been conceding more than they're finding in return.
To be fair, this was a test for both sides. The hosts had not lost any of their last five matches, while the visitors had picked up just one win from their previous five outings. A comfortable margin on Friday suggests the Slovak side are in better rhythm.
The result keeps Liptovsky Mikulas in positive form ahead of whatever competition comes next. Katowice will need to tighten things up — they have been second to everything in recent days, and that does not bode well for September.
