Radomiak Radom secured its first victory in 2026, defeating Arka Gdynia 2:1 in a PKO BP Ekstraklasa match. This game was likely a farewell for the hosts' star, Capita, who according to media reports is close to a record transfer to the MLS league in the United States. Arka Gdynia, despite a spirited performance, once again failed to earn points in an away match, deepening their crisis on the road.

Radomiak's Breakthrough

The team from Radom won their first match in 2026, defeating Arka Gdynia 2:1 at home.

Capita's Record Transfer

Radomiak's star, Capita, is one step away from a move to the American MLS league for a record sum.

Arka's Away Ineffectiveness

The Gdynia side continues their terrible run of matches away from home, remaining without a win on the road.

Dawid Szwarga's Words

Arka's coach criticized his players' lack of effectiveness and determination, describing it as a lack of greed.

Radomiak Radom broke their winless streak by defeating Arka Gdynia 2:1 at their home stadium. This was the Radom side's first league win in 2026, allowing the team to breathe easier in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa table. The main hero of the match was Capita, who not only displayed excellent form but also bid farewell to the fans with a goal. The home team's coach, Gonçalo Feio, suggested in post-match comments that the player's departure is a done deal, which is confirmed by numerous sources pointing to an American destination. The transfer fee to one of the MLS clubs is said to be a record in the history of the Radom club. Completely different moods prevail in the Arka Gdynia camp. The team led by Dawid Szwarga once again returned from an away trip empty-handed, which is becoming a worrying tradition for the coastal side. The Gdynia coach did not hide his disappointment after the match, pointing to a lack of proper determination in key moments of the game. Despite having the upper hand in some phases of play, Arka failed to convert it into goals, which Szwarga described as a „lack of greed” in the opponent's penalty area. This defeat puts the team in a difficult situation, especially as the media are starting to label Arka as the worst away team in the entire league, despite their relatively high position in the overall standings. Radomiak Radom, founded in 1910, after decades of playing in lower leagues, has in recent years become a permanent participant in the Ekstraklasa, building its position on a modern stadium and transfers of foreign players. In the shadow of the points battle, talks about the squad futures of both teams were ongoing. Capita's departure will force Radomiak's coaching staff to find a new offensive leader in a short time. Meanwhile, in Gdynia, pressure is mounting to improve results away from home, as the current disparity between home and away matches could prevent a fight for higher goals. It is also worth noting the comments from players in lower leagues, such as Dominik Zawadzki from Avia Świdnik, who after cup matches observed that the gap between the top of the Ekstraklasa and ambitious teams from lower tiers is becoming smaller, adding color to Polish competitions. „Zabrakło nam pazerności w tym meczu, co dużo nas kosztowało w ostatecznym rozrachunku.” (We lacked greed in this match, which cost us a lot in the final reckoning.) — Dawid Szwarga
