Motor Lublin draws with Widzew in Ekstraklasa season opener
Motor Lublin started the new Ekstraklasa season with a 2:2 draw against Widzew Łódź. The match, held on Sunday, was full of excitement from start to finish. Widzew, who fought for survival last season, failed to beat Motor despite taking the lead. Coach Aleksandar Vuković expressed disappointment after the game, admitting his team had a poor start to both halves.
What did Vuković say after the match?
The Widzew coach was critical of his players. 'The match was not what we wanted. We had a weak start, but improved after conceding. The biggest mystery was the start of the second half-we were very weak,' said Vuković. He added that the team only improved after the 60th minute, when Karol Świderski was brought on.
How did Motor Lublin perform last season?
Motor Lublin finished the 2025 season in 12th place in the Ekstraklasa, earning 43 points (10 wins, 13 draws, and 11 losses).

They were 17 points behind league leader Lech Poznań.
What's next for Motor Lublin?
Motor Lublin will have a chance to improve their form soon. In the second round of the Ekstraklasa, they will face Legia Warsaw, who defeated them 4:0 last season. This will be an opportunity for Motor to seek revenge and improve their recent results.
