Visiting side SK Artis Brno came from behind to claim a 2–1 victory over KS Wieczysta Krakow in a tightly contested pre-season friendly at Krakow’s Stadion Wieczysta on Thursday evening. The match, part of the clubs' summer build-up programmes, offered both coaches a chance to test tactical variations and give minutes to squad players.

Match Overview

Wieczysta Krakow, competing in Poland’s lower professional tiers, started brightly and took a deserved lead midway through the first half. A well-worked move down the right flank ended with a clinical finish past the Brno goalkeeper. However, the Czech visitors grew into the contest as the half wore on, equalising before the interval with a strike from distance that left the home keeper with no chance.

Wieczysta pushed forward in search of an equaliser but were unable to breach the Brno defence, which held firm under late pressure.
