Radomiak Radom delivered one of their most convincing performances of the campaign, outpacing Zaglebie Lubin 3-1 in front of a raucous home crowd at Stadion Radomiaka on Saturday afternoon. The stakes were high in this mid-table Ekstraklasa clash, with both teams eyeing momentum as the season approached its midpoint.

The match began in a balanced fashion, each side claiming 50% of the possession in the opening half-hour. It was a tightly contested midfield battle, with neither team able to break through until the 30th minute. That’s when Radomiak’s center-back Steve Kingue rose highest on a well-placed delivery from Maurides, thumping a header past Dominik Hładun to ignite the home supporters and stake Radomiak to a 1-0 lead.

Zaglebie Lubin responded with a flurry of attacks, racking up a total of 18 shots—seven on target—but found Radomiak goalkeeper Filip Majchrowicz in inspired form, making six saves on the afternoon. The visitors’ frustration grew as Radomiak doubled their advantage early in the second half. In the 53rd minute, fullback Jan Grzesik latched onto a perfectly weighted pass from Elves Baldé, slotting home from a tight angle to make it 2-0 and put the hosts firmly in control.

Desperate for a response, Zaglebie finally cracked Radomiak’s disciplined back line in the 69th minute. Leonardo Rocha, assisted by Filip Kocaba, finished from close range—breathing life into Lubin’s hopes and momentarily silencing the stadium. But Radomiak never looked rattled. They remained organized, breaking up Zaglebie’s passing rhythm and exploiting space on the counter.

The match saw its share of tension, with four yellow cards—three to Zaglebie, one to Radomiak’s Mateusz Cichocki—as defensive lines were tested by surging attacks. Zaglebie pressed for an equalizer, but Radomiak’s defensive resilience and midfield control kept them at bay.

Late substitutions from both benches injected fresh legs but did little to shift the momentum. Radomiak’s tactical discipline held firm, and in stoppage time, they capped the performance with a decisive third goal, sealing their first home win over Zaglebie in league play since 2023.

The result lifts Radomiak Radom above their rivals in the table, a significant statement with the season’s second half looming. For Zaglebie Lubin, the loss is a setback after a solid run of form, and questions may now be asked about their defensive organization and ability to break down stubborn opponents on the road.
