Arka Gdynia were defeated in a Betclic 1 Liga fixture. The hosts lost 2-1 at home to Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza.
Kacper Sezonienko scored for Arka in the 64th minute. The visitors replied through Kacper Terlecki in the 73rd minute, and Jakub Kuzia netted the winner for Termalica in the 89th minute. This loss complicates Arka's promotion push, as the Gdynia side dropped to 9th place in the table with 36 points. They are now five points behind GKS Katowice, who occupy the playoff zone.
Winless run continues
This marks a fourth consecutive match without a win for Arka. In previous rounds, they drew with GKS Katowice and suffered defeats to Wisła Płock and GKS Tychy. Manager Dariusz Marzec admitted his team made costly errors after the final whistle. “We didn't take our chances, and in the closing stages we allowed a counter-attack that cost us,” the coach said.
Ahead of the Termalica match, Arka had to cope without an injured defender, which affected defensive stability. The team will now look to recover ground in the standings. Their next test is an away fixture against Chrobry Głogów scheduled for next weekend. It is worth noting the first meeting between these sides this season ended in a goalless draw.
Before this important match, Arka will have a week to analyse mistakes and work on tactics. Key players like Sezonienko, who is currently the team's top scorer with eight goals, will need to regain their sharpness. A positive result in Głogów is essential to keep realistic hopes alive for a push up the table in the final stretch of the season.
