Piast Gliwice finished a 2-2 friendly against Miedź Legnica, giving coach Daniel Myśliwiec early clues about the squad's form ahead of the Ekstraklasa start. The match took place during the training camp in Opalenica, with goals coming in the second half as both sides searched for the lead.

How did the match unfold?

Miedź took the early lead, but Piast equalised thanks to 25‑year‑old French striker Samuel Ntamack, who joined the club on July 1 after a spell with Amiens SC. Ntamack opened the scoring in the 57th minute. Miedź responded a few minutes later, and in the 78th minute 17‑year‑old Maciej Kucharski restored parity for Gliwice. The game ended 2‑2.

Who featured in the lineup?

Piast lined up Gril – Twumasi, Rivas, Czerwiński, Fikaj – Łabojko, Maziarz, Felix – Lokilo, Mucha, Kucharski. Samuel Ntamack started in attack, marking his debut for the blue‑red side. The club had previously won 1‑0 against GKS‑Katowice and Baník Ostrava in earlier friendlies, suggesting growing stability.

Why does the result matter?

A draw isn’t ideal, but it gives Myśliwiec material to analyse before the first league fixture against Zagłębie Lubin on July 27. Piast is currently 15th in the Ekstraklasa with 41 points from 34 games (11W‑8D‑15L) and a recent form of LLDDW. The last official league match ended in a 2‑1 loss to Widzew Łódź (2026‑05‑23). Conceding two goals in the friendly highlights defensive issues – the team has already let in 46 goals while scoring 42 this season.

What’s next in the preparations?

After returning from Opalenica, Piast will host a friendly against I liga side Polonia Bytom. Myśliwiec aims to test new combinations, especially after Ntamack’s arrival. The squad still has a chance to climb the table, though they sit 19 points behind leaders Lech Poznań. With a recent five‑match run of 0W‑3D‑2L, every point now carries weight.
