Piast Gliwice drew 2-2 with Miedź Legnica in Wednesday's friendly in Opalenica, the match starting after a 14‑minute delay caused by traffic. The game gave coach Daniel Myśliwiec early insights before the training camp ends on July 9.

What happened in the friendly?

The highlight was Piast's quick start – Jason Lokilo opened the scoring in the 6th minute with a precise strike from the penalty area. Miedź answered in the 41st minute as Daniel Stanclik converted a free kick. After the break Samuel Ntamack restored Piast's lead in the 60th, and Mateusz Bochnak equalised four minutes later. The final 2-2 reflects a dynamic match where both sides tested new setups.

Why does the result matter for Piast?

Even a friendly shows that the attack under new striker Samuel Ntamack is clicking. At the same time goalkeeper Domen Gril had to intervene after Gustaf Norlin's shot, indicating defensive work remains. Piast, currently 15th in the Ekstraklasa with 41 points, needs stability – the last five games are 0‑3‑2 (LLDDD), and the most recent two defeats add pressure before the season.

Who stood out on the pitch?

Jason Lokilo, who scored the first goal, proved he can exploit chances in the box. Samuel Ntamack, the new forward, quickly fit the system, and Hugo Vallejo delivered a precise cross that led to the goal. On the other side, Mateusz Bochnak showed Miedź has dangerous finishers, while Daniel Stanclik confirmed his quality on set pieces.

What’s next in the preparations?

The camp wraps up on Thursday, and Piast will run final tests before the league opens. Coach Myśliwiec can draw lessons from the delayed start and balance the lineup to avoid more draws in the league. The team must make up ground in the table – they are 19 points behind leaders Lech Poznań – and improve the goal balance (42 scored, 46 conceded).

Piast Gliwice continues fighting to stay in the Ekstraklasa, and every point in the upcoming matches will be vital. The latest league result was a 1‑2 loss to Widzew Łódź on 2026‑05‑23, underscoring the need for a swift response.
