Piotr Samiec-Talar scores twice — 9.25
Two goals and a mark of 9.25 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Slask rebuffed over Luis Palma
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lech have kept their man, and Slask go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Jan Jurčec goes up and wins it — 7.94
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.94 for the rest of it.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Slask bid $380.0K for Dominik Holec
The offer went to Piast this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Slask find a way past Lechia
Lechia made Slask work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑3 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Match8 Aug 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Slask and Lechia in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Words exchanged at Slask
Jan Jurčec and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

A masterclass from Ieltsin Camões
Marked 8.71 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Piotr Szymanski steps up from the Slask academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Piotr Szymanski has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
