In the Polish Ekstraklasa, Lech Poznań initially took the lead at the top of the league table following a 2-1 victory over Jagiellonia Białystok. The win was secured by a late goal from Robert Gumny after a VAR review.

However, Lech Poznań’s position at the top was short-lived. Górnik Zabrze defeated them 2-1, with Erik Prekop scoring twice to secure a comeback victory. This result allowed Górnik Zabrze to overtake Lech Poznań and become the new league leader with 18 points.

In this match, Allahyar Sayyadmanesh opened the scoring for Lech in the 36th minute, but Prekop secured the comeback for Górnik with goals in the 76th and 80th minutes. This loss represents the first league defeat of the season for the defending champions, Lech Poznań, and has resulted in criticism from fans directed toward defender Mateusz Skrzypczak.

Following the victory, Górnik Zabrze club owner Lukas Podolski expressed pride in the team’s performance, despite noting ongoing challenges within the club. Lech coach Niels Frederiksen described the team's performance as disappointing, noting a lack of offensive creativity.
