Our men's football team played its second pre-season game in the training camp in Spain. This time our opponents were Piast Gliwice from the Polish league. Head coach Robbie Keane played the starting line up of Dibusz – Makreckis, Cissé, Gartenmann, Raul Gustavo – Maiga, Abu Fani – Traoré, Kady, Ben Romdhane – Varga and refreshed the team with several substitutions throughout the match.
Although we played dangerously and even hit the goalpost, today we needed to leave the pitch with a one-goal defeat after the Polish team took the lead with a header goal.
With this match, the training camp ended and we return to Budapest to continue our preparation for our next UEL game against Frankfurt next Thursday.
