Lechia Tomaszów-Mazowiecki lost 1:3 to Sędziszów-Małopolski in the first round of Poland's 1st League on Sunday. The away side took all three points on what appeared to be a transitional weekend for both clubs, with each side having accumulated nothing in the standings so far. Lechia had arrived in Tomaszów fresh from a 3:0 defeat to Sedlce nine days earlier, while Sędziszów carried no prior points into this fixture either.
Lechia fell behind early and could not recover their footing, conceding three goals while managing a single reply. The visitors controlled the tempo and did not travel to make up the numbers — they came to win and saw the game out with composure. Lechia's defensive structure looked disjointed from the first whistle, and the home side was left exposed whenever Sędziszów pushed forward.
The result does not shift the table dramatically, but it establishes a pattern: Sędziszów have started the campaign with two points, while Lechia's winless run stretches back to their opening fixture. Both sides remain in the lower half of the standings, though the gap between them at this stage is measured in confidence rather than points.
Lechia's recent form offers little comfort — three losses in their last four competitive matches, including two heavy defeats. They will need to regroup quickly if they hope to avoid a difficult start to the season. Sędziszów, meanwhile, have shown they can compete away from home and may yet settle into the middle of the pack.
