Motor Lublin lost 2:1 to Raków Częstochowa in the 8th round of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, extending their winless league run to three matches. The game was played in difficult rainy conditions, with Motor dropping to 16th place in the table with just five points.
Kamil Łukoszek opened the scoring for the visitors in the 34th minute with a long-range effort assisted by Ivo Rodrigues. The lead was short-lived. Patryk Makuch equalised for Raków in the 42nd minute following a move involving Mahir Emreli. The same player scored the decisive goal in the 77th minute, converting a cross from Vladyslav Kochergin. Motor's goalkeeper, Gašper Tratnik, had earlier saved shots from Marko Bulat but was powerless against Makuch's finishes.
This is Motor Lublin's second consecutive defeat following a dramatic 2:3 loss to Legia Warsaw in the previous round, where the capital club scored two late stoppage-time goals. Karol Czubak, currently the team's top scorer with five goals in eight appearances, had dangerous chances in the second half but could not alter the outcome. Raków Częstochowa, under new coach Tomasz Kaczmarka, ended a terrible run of six straight losses to start the season.
For Motor Lublin, this is another blow in their fight against relegation. The team's record now stands at just one win, two draws, and five defeats. The squad list status and injury list are always available on our squad page.
