Pogoń Szczecin claimed a 2-1 victory over Legia in the opening round of the women's Ekstraliga on 1 August 2026. The away side took the lead through Katerina Kotrcova before closing out the match with a late goal. Legia had gone ahead early through Lena Swirska but could not hold on.
Swirska gave the hosts the advantage in the nineteenth minute, putting Legia in front at the break. Kotrcova responded for Pogoń in the thirty-fourth, and the visitors took control from there. By then the momentum had shifted decisively.
Fortieth minute brought drama for Legia. Milena Prochowska missed a penalty opportunity, and Pogoń capitalised immediately with a goal of their own. The miss cost the hosts dearly — there is no value left at that number when you are chasing the game.
Both sides arrive on equal footing in the table. Legia sit fourth with nine points from five matches, while Pogoń occupy third place with the same tally. Three wins and two defeats for each side means the standings could change quickly.
Pogoń come into this fixture in form, having won their last three outings. A 1-0 victory over Śląsk Wrocław, followed by 3-0 wins against Górnik Łęczna and Pogoń Tczew, suggests they can raise the tempo when they need to. The draw with Czarni Sosnowiec earlier in May was their only dropped point in that run.
The result leaves Pogoń top of the early table with four points from one game, while Legia remain on three. The gap is small, but the away win puts the visitors in a commanding position for the season ahead.
