Pogoń Szczecin wrapped up the last pre‑season friendly before the Austrian camp with a 2‑1 win over Chrobry Głogów, and the match was streamed live on YouTube.

How did the match unfold?

On Wednesday, July 3, 2026, at the club's training ground, the Portowcy hosted the first‑league visitors. American midfielder Kellyn Acosta opened the scoring in the 27th minute after a precise left‑wing pass. Chrobry equalised after the break – in the 52nd minute Kelechukwu Ibe‑Torti converted a free‑kick. The decisive goal came in the 78th minute when Agger, after a swift counter‑attack, slipped the ball under the keeper and finished to make it 2‑1.

Why does this win matter?

Pre‑season friendlies serve not only to fine‑tune tactics but also to assess new signings. In this game, young defender Biegański made his debut for Pogoń, and the coach noted his solid defensive work. Additionally, Acosta’s goal shows the American can become a regular attacking threat, adding variety to the forward line.

What lies ahead for Pogoń?

The squad departs for Austria on Friday for a week of intensive training. The next test is scheduled for July 7 – a match against Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahçe Istanbul, who are preparing for the second qualifying round of the Champions League against Górnik Zabrze. That fixture will give a clear picture of the team’s international readiness before the PKO Ekstraklasa kickoff.

Who featured in the line‑up?

The coach opted for a 4‑3‑3: Pesković in goal; defenders Wahlqvist, Dziczek, Ndiaye and Borges. The midfield trio consisted of Acosta, Biegański and Wojciechowski. Up front, Agger, Angielski and Czapliński led the attack. The roster blended experienced heads with emerging talents, a balance that could be key to a steady league start.

What lessons were taken from the game?

After the match the manager stressed the need for greater efficiency in the second half – Chrobry levelled after the break, and Pogoń had to wait for the third goal. Work will focus on quick transitions and set‑piece finishing. The team still has a few days to tweak before the trip, and the upcoming clash with Fenerbahçe will be a true test of readiness.

In short, Pogoń Szczecin demonstrated it can take the lead and hold onto it, yet also signalled that defensive solidity and attacking sharpness still need polishing. The forthcoming travels and fixtures will reveal the squad’s true form ahead of the Ekstraklasa season.
