Raków Częstochowa suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat to Jagiellonia Białystok in a historic Matchweek 6 of the 2026/2027 season. This loss marked the final game in charge for manager Dawid Kroczek, with the team rooted to the bottom of the Ekstraklasa table with zero points from six matches.
The Sunday fixture was part of a round that saw 17 goals scored across three games. Raków, with a season tally of six goals scored and fourteen conceded, could not contain the hosts' attack. The details of the match and the milestones achieved were noted.
What did this defeat mean for Raków?
The club from Częstochowa is entering a difficult period. After six consecutive losses, Raków trails league leaders Lech Poznań by 16 points. Manager Dawid Kroczek noted that his team also crossed a goal milestone in that game, but it did little to mask the poor overall form. This was his final match in charge of Raków.
The squad is also dealing with injury issues. Erick Otieno and Stratos Svarnas are currently sidelined, further limiting tactical options. Updates on the squad's fitness can be followed on our injuries page.
What individual milestones were recorded in this match?
Despite the team's defeat, one Raków player etched his name in league history. Medaliki scored his first goal for Raków Częstochowa, which was also his 500th goal in the Ekstraklasa. It was a remarkable individual achievement against the backdrop of collective struggles.
Another notable record was set by Taras Romanczuk. The experienced player played his 364th match in the top flight, moving him into 25th place on the all-time appearances list. As Romanczuk himself highlighted, this is just 13 appearances fewer than Raków's total number of matches in the Ekstraklasa.
What is Raków's current league situation?
After six matchweeks, Raków Częstochowa has a disastrous record: zero wins, zero draws, and six losses. The club's average goals per match in the Ekstraklasa currently stands at 1.33, but with so many goals conceded, this has not translated into points. The complete league standings are available in our standings section.
The next challenge is a match against second-placed Legia Warszawa, scheduled for 7 November 2026. This away fixture already looks exceedingly tough for a team searching for a new direction. The upcoming schedule can be found in the fixtures section.
The historic day in the league also featured another milestone. In another Sunday match, Górnik Zabrze scored their 3000th goal in Ekstraklasa history, with Josema netting the landmark strike. However, even this milestone did not save Górnik from defeat, their first such occurrence after leading a game since April 2025. Raków Częstochowa must find a way to end their losing streak before facing Legia Warszawa on 7 November.
