The 2025/26 season of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa got underway with energy, intensity, and a crucial win for Widzew Łódź, who edged out Zagłębie Lubin with a narrow 1-0 home victory. Although the match featured only one goal, it was filled with passion and excitement, showcasing what’s to come in the Polish top flight.

A hard-fought home win

From the opening whistle, the home side pushed forward with determination, eager to deliver a victory to their loyal fans. However, it was no easy task: Zagłębie Lubin sat deep, defending solidly and frustrating Widzew’s attacking efforts.

Persistence paid off in the 40th minute of the first half, when Juljan Shehu finally broke the deadlock and scored the only goal of the match, sending the crowd into celebration.

With this important home win, Widzew Łódź starts the season full of confidence as they look ahead to their next challenge — an away match against Jagiellonia Białystok.

Disappointing start for Zagłębie Lubin

On the other hand, it was a poor start for Zagłębie Lubin, whose hopes of a strong opening were dashed. Despite efforts to recover after going behind, they were unable to find an equalizer.

Now, the team must regroup quickly, as they will hit the road once again to face GKS Katowice, one of the stronger sides in the league. Another defeat could start raising early concerns within the club.
