Ante Simundza and Mariusz Misiura fulfilled their mandatory media duties by holding a post-match press conference. The coaches faced reporters immediately after Motor Lublin's 3-2 victory over Śląsk Wrocław in the 11th round of the Ekstraklasa. Following this triumph, the Lublin club maintains its 11th place in the league table, having collected 12 points from eleven matches, with a record of three wins, three draws, and five losses. They trail the leaders, Górnik Zabrze, by fourteen points.
The win over Śląsk was a dramatic cap to a positive run. Motor came from behind after goals from Przemysław Banaszak and Malaly Dembelé for the visitors, ultimately triumphing thanks to strikes from Makan Aiko, Christopher Simon, and a stoppage-time penalty from Yacine Bourhane. A week earlier, the team also won 3-2 against Radomiak Radom, where Karol Czubak, currently the squad's top scorer with six goals, again played a key role. This recent strong form, which reads two wins, one draw, and two losses in the last five matches, has yielded six points in just seven days, providing a significant boost for the squad. This season, Motor has scored fifteen goals while conceding nineteen.
Motor's next challenge is a home fixture against Zaglebie Lubin, scheduled for October 23rd. Zaglebie currently sits in seventh position in the league. The conference, which was streamed live, was a standard part of the matchday protocol, serving as the first official reaction from the managers after the final whistle. It was not accompanied by any special announcements or in-depth tactical breakdowns. Motor Lublin's head coach, Ante Simundza, and his Śląsk counterpart, Mariusz Misiura, answered journalists' questions in line with league regulations.
The managers did not comment in detail on individual player availability for the next match. The fact remains that the team enters a key phase of the season with positive momentum after a successful week. The last two victories have helped recover ground lost in earlier defeats to Raków and Legia. Ante Simundza's next press conference is set for Friday, October 23rd, ahead of the scheduled Saturday match against Zaglebie Lubin. Before that fixture, the team will be looking to extend its current two-game winning run.
