Motor Lublin suffered another league defeat, losing 2-1 away to Raków Częstochowa in matchday 28 of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa. A brace from Patryk Makuch for the hosts overturned an earlier lead from Kamil Lukoszek, cementing a difficult period for the Lublin-based side.
The club sits 15th in the table with just five points from eight games played. This loss marks a second consecutive league defeat, with only one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five outings. The next test will be a home fixture against Widzew Łódź scheduled for December 12th.
Match flow in Częstochowa
The match at Raków's stadium began with balanced play. The breakthrough came in the 34th minute when Ivo Rodrigues found Kamil Lukoszek, who beat the home goalkeeper to give Motor the lead. The visitors' advantage was short-lived. Just eight minutes later, in the 42nd minute, Marko Bulat set up Patryk Makuch in a favourable position, and the Raków striker coolly equalised.
The second half brought increased pressure from the Częstochowa side. Makuch scored the decisive goal in the 77th minute, finishing a pass from Vladyslav Kochergin. Motor Lublin failed to mount an effective response, though they fought for at least a draw until the final whistle. The referee ended the match, awarding Raków all three points.
Table context and form
This defeat fits into a concerning run of results. Motor have now scored nine goals this season but conceded fifteen, giving them a goal difference of minus six. They trail league leaders Lech Poznań by eleven points. Detailed form statistics and the upcoming schedule can be found on our fixtures and standings pages.
In historical head-to-head meetings with Raków, the balance is not favourable for Motor. Previous encounters this season and in past years have often ended in victories for the Częstochowa team, confirming their dominance in this particular fixture. Motor Lublin's manager must quickly find a remedy for the defensive frailties that have regularly conceded goals in recent matches.
The team now faces nearly three months before their next league challenge. This is a time for error analysis, training work, and potential tactical adjustments. The next match, scheduled for December 12th against Widzew Łódź, will be an opportunity to break the negative streak and secure valuable points in the battle to avoid relegation.
