Arka Gdynia secured a 2-1 victory over Stal Rzeszów in a pre-season friendly match. According to a report from Sport.betfan.pl, the game took place this week and served as an important test ahead of the league campaign.
Goals for the Yellow-and-Blues were scored by Jakub Witek and Mateusz Wdowiak. Bartłomiej Poczobut found the net for the visitors. Arka's manager, Jarosław Skrobacz, used the opportunity to test different tactical setups and rotate his squad. The friendly was part of the preparations for the upcoming I Liga season.
How did Arka Gdynia perform during the match
The game was intense from the opening minutes. Arka Gdynia quickly took the initiative and created several clear scoring chances. The first goal came after a good team move, finished by Jakub Witek. The second half brought a more balanced fight, but it was the Yellow-and-Blues who found the decisive goal through a strike from Mateusz Wdowiak. Arka's defence, although beaten once, generally looked compact.
What does this result mean ahead of the new season
A win, even in a friendly, builds confidence within the team. Jarosław Skrobacz emphasised after the match that implementing training objectives was more important than the result itself. The Gdynia-based club enters the new season with promotion ambitions. Currently, Arka sits in 5th place in I Liga with 10 points from six matches. Their record shows three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team's recent league form reads DLWLW.
What is Arka's position in the league standings
After six matches, Arka Gdynia has scored 9 goals and conceded only 5. This gives them a positive goal difference of +4. They trail the league leaders, Miedz Legnica, by just three points. The fight for promotion is therefore very tight. The current state of the squad can be followed on our stats and standings pages.
