Zagłębie Sosnowiec saw off Poruba 3:2 in a club friendly on Thursday evening. The match took place at the Sosnowiec ground on 13 August 2026, with both sides using the fixture to build momentum ahead of the new campaign.
Both teams came into the encounter showing signs of their pre-season form. Zagłębie had won their last two friendlies, including a 4:2 victory over Přerov just two days earlier. Poruba, meanwhile, had been busy themselves, picking up a 6:1 win against Kopřivnice on 11 August after losing 0:4 to Vsetín.
The result gives Zagłębie a slight edge in their preparation, though friendlies rarely tell the full story. The hosts have been scoring freely in recent outings — eight goals against Toruń, four against Přerov — while Poruba's attack has also been potent, netting six against both Opava and Unia Osvětim.
What matters more than the scoreline is the rhythm both sides are finding. Zagłębie's recent run includes three wins from their last four friendlies, though they did drop points 1:4 to Tychy in January. Poruba have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their 6:1 victory, but also inconsistency with that heavy defeat to Vsetín.
By then, both managers will be looking beyond the result. The final score — 3:2 — suggests a game that stayed open throughout, with neither side able to completely shut the other out. That is often the case in friendlies, where defensive discipline can take a back seat to attacking intent.
