Legia Warszawa on Thursday, July 2, 2026, finished the friendly against FC Nürnberg II with a 2-2 draw after the break (2-1 at halftime). The match took place in Warsaw and produced two goals for Legia – Łukasz Zjawiński after a pass from Damian Szymański and Mileta Rajović, who converted a penalty in the 77th minute.

What happened on the pitch?

The opening minutes were calm – the tempo was lower than in Legia's training match with Bayern II. The German side opened the scoring in the 13th minute after Moritz Wiezorrek passed to Eliyah Rau, who scored after Jan Bienduga failed to intervene. Legia answered in the 30th minute when Damian Szymański won the ball, fed Łukasz Zjawiński, who slipped past defenders and finished. After the break, following changes in both teams, Legia equalised in the 77th minute – Bartosz Korzyński earned a penalty, confidently taken by Mileta Rajović.

Why does the result matter for Legia?

Even though it was a friendly, the 2-2 score shows Legia's ability to respond after losing the lead. Damian Szymański and Mileta Rajović proved decisive in key moments, which could boost confidence ahead of upcoming Ekstraklasa fixtures. Substitutions after halftime – including Kamil Piątkowski, Bartosz Kapustka, and Erik Mikanowicz – gave players a chance to adapt to the coach's tactics.

What lineup changes were made?

In the first half Legia fielded Jan Bienduga in goal, with defenders Arsenić, Deziel, Augustyniak, Vinagre, and Urbański. After the break the goalkeeper switched to Otto Hindrich, while the back line featured Kamil Piątkowski, Bartosz Korżyński, Arkadiusz Reca, and Kacper Chodyna. Midfielders Arreiol, Kapustka, Mikanowicz, and Maciej Ruszkiewicz (later replaced by Antonio Colak) added more dynamism. These changes suggest the coach is experimenting with formation before the next league games.

What’s next after the draw?

Legia Warszawa faces several crucial league matches, and lessons from this friendly could aid tactical preparation. Focusing on the effectiveness of free kicks and set pieces, which yielded no goals in this game, will be essential. Damian Szymański, Mileta Rajović, and Łukasz Zjawiński gained confidence, potentially translating into stronger performances in upcoming fixtures.
