A dominant display from Gedania Gdansk saw them thrash Bytovia Bytow 4-1 at the Stadion Miejski on May 23, 2026. The home side moved up the Poland Liga 3 standings with an emphatic victory that showcased their attacking firepower and set-piece efficiency.

Early Blitz Decides the Contest

Gedania Gdansk started at a blistering pace, scoring twice within the first 20 minutes. A corner in the 12th minute was headed home by central defender Tomasz Kamiński. Just six minutes later, winger Kacper Zawadzki doubled the lead from a similar set piece, volleying in after a cleared corner fell to him at the edge of the box.

Bytovia Bytow were shell-shocked and struggled to string passes together. Gedania continued to press, and the third goal arrived in the 35th minute. A swift counter-attack culminated in a low cross from the left that was turned in by striker Filip Dąbrowski for his 12th goal of the season.

Bytovia Bytow Pull One Back, But Gedania Responds

Bytovia managed to reduce the deficit just before halftime. A free kick from deep was headed back across goal, and Łukasz Michalski prodded home from close range to make it 3-1. However, any hope of a comeback was short-lived. Gedania Gdansk restored their three-goal lead in first-half stoppage time when Bartosz Szymański smashed in a rebound after a goalmouth scramble.

Second Half Controlled by Gedania

The second half was a more subdued affair, with Gedania Gdansk comfortable in possession and content to manage the game.
