Legia Warszawa secured a 1-0 pre-season victory over AS Trencin, with Mileta Rajović scoring the only goal in the 77th minute. This was the fourth friendly under Marek Papszun, who has already guided the team to wins over Bayern Munich’s reserves (2:0) and Hapoel Beer Sheva (3:1). Currently 6th in Ekstraklasa (49 points, +5 goal difference), Legia enters the 2026/27 season on a five-game winning streak, most recently thrashing Motor Lublin 4-0 (May 23, 2026).

Who played and how did Legia line up?

Papszun mixed experience with youth, fielding Arkadiusz Reca as a central defender alongside Rafał Augustyniak and Kamil Piątkowski. Otto Hindrich kept goal, while Rajović (77') converted a penalty to seal the win. Substitutes like Wahan Biczachczjan and Jakub Żewłakow came on in the second half, showcasing rotational depth.

Why does this match matter for Legia?

This was the final pre-season test before the official campaign kicks off, but Legia still has two more friendlies: Radomiak Radom (July 14) and Aris Limassol (July 18). The club, 11 points behind league leaders Lech Poznań, must maintain momentum after a 4-0 demolition of Motor Lublin—proof they’re in winning form. Papszun is using these games to fine-tune tactics and squad combinations ahead of the title race.

What’s next? More friendlies and the season opener

Legia’s pre-season schedule wraps with Radomiak Radom (July 14) and Cyprus’ Aris Limassol (July 18). These matches will be critical to locking in form before the first league fixture. With a five-game unbeaten run (all wins) and a +5 goal difference, the team is hungry—but Papszun will need to balance fresh legs with consistency as the title chase intensifies.
