Świt Szczecin 3–2 Flota Świnoujście
International Club Friendly – July 11, 2026

Match Overview

The most eventful friendly of the day took place at the Stadion Świt in Szczecin, where home side Świt Szczecin edged Flota Świnoujście 3‑2 in a seven‑goal thriller (though only five were scored). Both Polish clubs used the match to shake off pre‑season rust, but it quickly became an open, end‑to‑end contest that delighted the modest crowd.

Key Moments

• 8' – First blood: Świt midfielder Jakub Bąk volleyed home from a corner to give the hosts an early lead.
• 25' – Quick response: Flota’s striker Patryk Szysz equalized with a composed finish after a defensive mix‑up.
• 42' – Back ahead: A superb individual run from Świt winger Kamil Wojtkowski restored the home side’s advantage before half‑time.
• 60' – Flota fight back: A second‑half penalty converted by captain Mateusz Michalski made it 2‑2.
• 82' – Winner: Substitute Sebastian Kowalczyk latched onto a through ball and slotted past the Flota goalkeeper to seal the victory for Świt.

Tactical Story

Świt Szczecin, playing in a 4‑4‑2, relied on direct play and set‑pieces. Flota Świnoujście, using a 4‑3‑3, tried to build through midfield but were often caught on the counter. The high tempo and lack of defensive sharpness typical of early pre‑season contributed to the five goals. Both coaches made numerous changes, but the winning goal came from a regular starter returning to action.

Standout Players

• Sebastian Kowalczyk (Świt): The match‑winner was a constant threat after coming on as a substitute, using pace and close control to unsettle the Flota defense.
• Mateusz Michalski (Flota): The captain led by example, scoring from the spot and repeatedly driving forward from midfield.

Pre‑Season Significance

This result gives Świt Szczecin a morale boost as they prepare for the upcoming III liga season. Flota Świnoujście, playing a division lower, showed promise in attack but will need to tighten up defensively. The three goals conceded on set‑pieces and transitions will be a focus in training.
