Wisła Płock secured a 34:26 victory over Holstebro in a club friendly on 8 August 2026. The Polish side held their own against the Danish visitors at home, finishing comfortably clear on the scoreboard. It was a straightforward affair, with the hosts taking control early and maintaining their advantage throughout.
Both teams had been busy with pre-season fixtures in recent weeks. Wisła Płock came into this match with three wins and two losses from their last five games, including victories over Stal Mielec and Wybrzeże Gdańsk. Holstebro's record was more mixed, with two wins and three defeats across similar fixtures against Danish opposition.
By then, the Danish side had been testing themselves against teams like Skanderborg and Bjerringbro-Silkeborg, while also taking on Horsens earlier in the summer. They had shown they could compete, particularly in that 31:28 win over Skanderborg back in May. Against Wisła Płock, however, they could not match the Polish side's intensity.
The final tally of 34:26 suggested a comfortable evening for the hosts. The margin of eight goals reflected a match where Wisła Płock found their rhythm and Holstebro struggled to keep pace. There were no dramatic swings — just a steady accumulation of points in favour of the home team.
And here's the thing: neither side was fighting for anything tangible. This was preparation, pure and simple. Both coaches will have been looking at patterns rather than results, testing combinations ahead of the real campaign. The scoreline told one story, but the work done in those minutes mattered more.
