Radomiak Radom fell 1-2 to ŁKS Łódź on Saturday, with the only goal for the visitors coming in the 80th minute from new English striker Manu. The match, played in Łódź, reflects in the table: Radomiak sits 10th in the Ekstraklasa with 44 points, 11 wins, 11 draws and 12 losses after 34 games, and the last five results form a LLLLD streak.

What happened on the pitch?

ŁKS opened the scoring in the 1st minute through Olejniczak, and ten minutes later Piasecki doubled the lead. Radomiak responded only in the 81st minute when Manu capitalised on a corner and tucked the ball home. Despite intense pressing in the closing stages, the visitors could not equalise and the score stayed unchanged.

Why does the defeat matter?

The loss widens the gap to league leaders Lech Poznań – Radomiak is now 16 points behind. Moreover, after the 6-2 defeat to Górnik Zabrze on 23 May 2026, the team has now suffered four consecutive losses, jeopardising its chances of escaping the relegation zone. Coach Tomasz Kaczmarek must find a way to reverse the trend before the next clash with Dynamo Kyiv on 10 July.

Who played a key role?

Manu, the summer transfer addition, showed he can step up in decisive moments – his goal in the 81st minute could mark the start of a larger role in attack. On the other side, ŁKS benefited from the experience of Olejniczak and Piasecki, who once again proved dangerous in quick transitions.

What lies ahead?

Radomiak has three tough fixtures on the horizon: a game against Dynamo Kyiv on 10 July, a showdown with Legia Warsaw on 14 July, and a match versus Pogon Szczecin on 18 July. Additionally, the first league match of the new season on 24 July will see the side face debutants Wieczysta Kraków. Each of these games offers a chance to grab three points and improve the league standing.

Radomiak lineup against ŁKS: Gradecki; Ouattara, Blasco, Lopes, Dieguez, Grzesik, Camara, Alves, Luquinhas, Karasek, Balde. Second‑half changes: Koptas, Markiewicz, Stępień, Kilianek, Dohojda, Ibrahima, Donis, Żabicki, Baro, Wolski, Ametowou, Goure, Tapsoba, Manu.
