Stal Rzeszow 1–3 GKS Katowice
International Club Friendly | 11 July 2026, 22:00
GKS Katowice underlined their pre‑season sharpness with a 3‑1 win over Polish second‑division side Stal Rzeszow at the Stadion Miejski w Rzeszowie. The friendly served as a final test for both clubs ahead of their respective league campaigns, with Katowice’s superior fitness and creativity proving decisive.
Match Flow
Stal Rzeszow started brightly and took a deserved lead in the 14th minute. Winger Piotr Kolecki skipped past his marker and delivered a low cross that striker Kamil Kościelny tapped in from close range. The home side dominated the first 25 minutes, but Katowice gradually grew into the game.
The equaliser came in the 38th minute when Katowice midfielder Adrian Błaszyk fired a powerful shot from outside the box that deflected past the Stal goalkeeper. The teams went into the break level at 1‑1.
Second‑Half Surge
Katowice’s fitness told in the second period. They took the lead in the 63rd minute when forward Patryk Szwed scored with a composed finish after a neat one‑two. The visitors sealed the win in the 82nd minute when substitute Bartosz Nowak slotted home from a counter‑attack, making it 3‑1.
Key Observations
- Stal Rzeszow’s early promise – The hosts showed flashes of quality but faded physically after the hour mark.
- Katowice’s depth – Manager Rafał Górak made several substitutions, all of whom maintained the intensity.
- Defensive lapses – Stal’s backline was caught out twice by quick transitions, a concern ahead of the I liga season.
Post‑Match Quotes
Stal Rzeszow coach Dawid Szwarga said: “We started well but couldn’t sustain it. The scoreline flattered Katowice a little, but they deserved the win. We have lessons to learn.” GKS Katowice captain Adrian Błaszyk added: “A good workout. We moved the ball well and showed character to come from behind.”
Looking Ahead
Stal Rzeszow open their I liga season away to GKS Tychy, while Katowice prepare for their Ekstraklasa campaign against Korona Kielce. Both teams will hope to avoid the defensive mistakes seen here when the competitive matches begin.
