Radomiak Radom produced a ruthless attacking display to thrash Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki 7-2 in an International Club Friendly on Friday evening, turning what was expected to be a controlled warm-up match into a full-scale goal festival at the Stadion im. Braci Czachorów.

Played on 2 October 2026, the match gave Radomiak’s coaching staff a valuable opportunity to rotate the squad, test attacking combinations and hand minutes to fringe players — and the hosts responded with a performance full of pace, pressing and clinical finishing. Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki, despite the heavy defeat, contributed to an open, entertaining contest and scored two well-taken goals of their own.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Radomiak looked sharper and more aggressive. The Ekstraklasa side dominated possession in the middle third and repeatedly attacked the spaces behind Pogoń’s defensive line. The visitors, who play their football in the lower Polish divisions, initially tried to sit deep and frustrate their hosts, but the quality gap became clear once Radomiak found their rhythm.

The first goal arrived inside the opening quarter of an hour, setting the tone for a one-sided first half. Radomiak doubled their lead soon after with a move that started from the goalkeeper and ended with a calm finish inside the penalty area. By the half-hour mark, the scoreline already read 3-0, and Pogoń’s defence was struggling to cope with the speed of Radomiak’s wide players and the movement of their strikers.

Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki did pull one back before the break, a neat finish following a rare lapse in concentration at the back for Radomiak. But any hopes of a comeback were quickly extinguished as the hosts restored their three-goal cushion before half-time.

Tactical Story

Radomiak set up in a 4-2-3-1 shape that became more of a 4-1-4-1 when pressing, with the front four instructed to close down Pogoń’s centre-backs aggressively. That high press forced a series of turnovers in dangerous areas and directly led to at least two of the first-half goals. The hosts also used their full-backs high and wide, stretching the Pogoń defence and creating space for the attacking midfielders to drift inside.

Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki, by contrast, lined up in a compact 4-4-2 and looked to hit on the break. Their two goals came from exactly that approach — quick transitions and direct running at a Radomiak back line that had pushed up. However, they struggled to maintain possession for long spells, and every time they cleared their lines, the ball seemed to come straight back.

The second half was more disjointed as both teams made multiple substitutions, but Radomiak’s superior squad depth told. Their substitutes added fresh energy, and the final 20 minutes saw the hosts create several more chances before adding their sixth and seventh goals.

Standout Players

Radomiak Radom: The attacking trio of Leonardo Rocha, Pedro Henrique and Roberto Alves caused problems all evening. Rocha’s movement in the box was a constant threat, while Pedro Henrique’s link-up play in the number ten role was excellent. Bruno Jordão controlled the tempo from midfield, and the young winger who came off the bench in the second half added two goals to his name.
