Radomiak Radom fell 2‑4 to Dynamo Kyiv in the third pre‑season friendly for 2026/27, and coach Tomasz Kaczmarek highlighted the need to tighten the defence. Radomiak currently sits 10th in the Ekstraklasa with 44 points and must quickly raise intensity to avoid a deeper slump.

What happened in the Dynamo Kyiv match?

The game took place on July 10, 2026, and from the first minutes the visitors imposed a high tempo. Kyiv dominated possession, scoring the first two goals in the 12th and 23rd minutes. The Greens answered after the break, but another burst of Ukrainian attacks restored a 4‑2 lead. Kaczmarek admitted the opening 25 minutes were “too passive and weak on the ball,” allowing the opponent to control play.

Why does the coach see defensive issues?

“We concede goals too easily” was the headline after the match. Kaczmarek noted that the period from the 50th to the 60th minute should not have happened, and a lack of focus on set pieces cost three goals. He believes that to compete with stronger sides, Radomiak must think faster and be better on the ball. Pressing intensity was satisfactory at times but failed to stay consistent throughout the game.

What’s next in the pre‑season schedule?

After the Dynamo test, Radomiak has two more friendlies. On July 14 they face Legia Warsaw, and four days later they meet Pogon Siedlce. The official PKO BP Ekstraklasa kickoff is set for July 24, when the Greens will host Wieczysta Kraków. A day later they will play their final warm‑up against Cypriot side Anorthosis Famagusta. Kaczmarek stresses these matches are a chance to fine‑tune the squad before league competition.

How does the league picture look?

With 44 points Radomiak sits 10th, 16 points behind leaders Lech Poznań. So far the season has produced 52 goals scored and 53 conceded, a minus‑one goal difference. The latest result was a heavy 6‑2 defeat to Gornik Zabrze on May 23, 2026. The last five games record a LLLLD run – four straight losses and a draw – underscoring the urgent need for improvement.
