Lech Poznan – Błękitni Stargard
After losing the first leg of their semi-final in Stargard Lech Szczecin in the locker room there was a real storm. Harsh words he did not regret Maciej Skorża, and the players bothered to even president Charles Klimczak, and it must be emphasized that it does not do it often. Because failure of drugoligowcem is one thing, but the style in which Kolejorz killed in Stargard was the runner-Polish shameful. Before the second leg of Poznan team all players but toned moods and assured that they do not see any other solution than the victory and advance to the finals, where already waiting Legia Warsaw. Maciej Skorża also emphasized that in mind has developed scenarios for the meeting at every possible eventuality. From Poznań mood improved a little league win with PGE GKS Belchatow, but we all know that the match against the Blue will be one of the highlights of this season. Any failure could even mean goodbye to several players from the first team of Lech.
Kolejorz as the favorite, despite advance from the first game, put up virtually all the representatives of the Blue. Guests from Stargard class recognized him, but at the same time assured that they do not come to the capital of Wielkopolska to lie down on the grass in front of Lech. Support drugoligowca players have huge, because of the Bulgarian zameldowało more than two tysiącefanów Blue. And it seems that many of the “neutral” fans also kept our fingers crossed for “Cinderella,” which in this year’s Polish Cup experienced adventure of a lifetime. Blue dream was to finish this beautiful dream final at the National Stadium. Lech task – to turn those dreams into dust.
As expected, Lech quickly moved to attack and already in the 2 minutes into the game got hot in front of goal Brand Ufnal. Kasper Hamalainen briefly played with Charles Linettym ball, and he dropped to the battle of the box Szymon Pawlowski, who but the terrible and far past the Blue goal post. No further two minutes had passed, and the ball twice in the grid could land visitors. First Ufnal fingertips futbolówkę rebounded after a clever lobie Hämäläinen, and a moment later the action after a short corner great closed head Marcin Kamiński and just delicious Blue spared the ball away from losing a goal.
The pressure Lech persisted in 8 minutes, the ball landed even in goal with a shot of David Blue Kownacki, but a little earlier Lech young striker was offside and rightly judge Paul Gil of hits not found. After the players could see the Blue stage fright, because in the first quarter of initiative quite a distance, and yet at home have shown that they can withstand Lech something more than just a fight and ambition.
You proved it in the 19th minute. Lech misfortune began with a stupid loss Muhamed Keita. Wojciech Fadecki took the ball and moved right-side masterwork, the tie outplayed Arajuuriego Paulus and expounded futbolówkę to wbiegającego the box Peter Wojtasiak that a strong shot perfectly placed it under the crossbar. The sector occupied by supporters of the Blue exploded with joy. Burst out furiously on the bench for Maciej Skorża because the situation Kolejorz at this point had become extremely complex.
Lech though he wanted to get the contact goal, but once again shot several metrówzdołał Hämäläinen Marek Ufnal reflections. Reacted quickly to the situation as a coach Skorża that the game in place of Muhamed Keita nominated Darius formella. This would strengthen the ranks castling Kolejorz offensive.
The situation on the field has changed dramatically even before the half-hour game when the turf to the locker room for a second yellow card after a foul on Luke Luke Trałce was sent Kossakiewicz. Kolejorz players immediately “got wind of blood” and moved to the hurricane attack. The effects have to wait long – as early as 34 minutes Paulus Arajuuri gotten head goal after a great ball from the free kick performed by Barry Douglas.
The weakening of his team reacted quickly trainer Blue – Krzysztof Kapuściński, who pulled out of the turf nominal striker Robert Gajda, in its place by introducing Patrick Baranowski. Of little avail, however, because Kolejorz continue to attack and less than ten minutes after the first goal came a second time. Paramount pass from the depth of field sent Karol Linetty and share wbiegający finished sliding tackle in the box Dariusz Formell. At this point, Lech, to bring even extra, missing only one goal.
Lech wanted to start the second installment of a bang – after a foul on Ariel Wawszczyk Formelli Poznanians had a free kick from about twenty meters, but this time a full-time enforcer set pieces – Barry Douglas – hit straight into the hands of Ufnal. In the game, it was even more threatening in front of goal Blue. Kasper Hamalainen crossed from the right, ball head for further post starred in Linetty starred in, and all the action hit his head slightly inaccurate ended Pawlowski. The question is whether Lech player was not in this situation fouled by Maciej Liśkiewicz that the shoe hit him in the head? According to Paul Gil action was clean. However, Lech midfielder suffered so much that he had to leave the pitch bloodied. In its place on the square game appeared not seen for a long time due to injury Darko Jevtić.
Several Moments later, the Swiss action could end in a goal, but his application was not able to make good use of Marcin Kaminski, who gave the block when you try to shoot. Time passed, and although Lech inexorably Kolejorz almost never left the halfway belonging to Blue, it was the visitors defended themselves bravely, and above all very skilfully.
At the end of the quarter to Kolejorz fans could finally breathe a moment of relief, because the net Ufnal in considerable turmoil hit David Kownacki – a ball on the head by a sniper struck Lech first bounced off the crossbar, then the turf and eventually ended up in the net. Such an outcome after the final whistle would mean extra time.
Lekhs, however, have a plan to finish it before the expiration of the ninety minutes. Their pressure did not stop, and with each passing minute the Blue defense became more and more desperate. This does not mean, however, that the guests from Stargard did not show up at all in front of goal Lech. The criminal field trip happened to them from time to time, and one of them could even end in a goal. Bartholomew Poczobut powerful shot from 84 minutes has passed, however, post Kolejorz for a good meter. The response was very close to happiness Hamalainen, but after a clever shot Fina from Marcin Kaminski dograniu was able to stop Ufnal. “Cross match” on the head in the final seconds of stoppage time was still Vojo Ubiparip, but the Serb failed to properly direct the soccer balls towards the goal and Paul Gil extra time.
Before additional thirty minutes you could see a lot of talking picture. Lech players standing refilling fluids and discussed, and in the majority of players the Blue lying on the grass and stretched muscles, in which they were catching cramps. It was evident that the game for an hour with a reduced cost health visitors weight.
Playing in the first part of overtime Lech beginning strongly not awkward, and the reason for this was primarily a defensive bunkers positioned tightly guests. Błękitni Kolejorz forced to play on the wing and cross to, and only a few stocks from Poznań were able to carry out the middle. Lech did so what this season is doing well – that is turned on goal fixed portion of the game. Barry Douglas and crossed to the near post, and there he found the best Kasper Hamalainen and two meters futbolówkę headed into the net.
This goal finally lifted wing Blue brave players, and the next goal for Lech sealed case. Dariusz Formell raced down the left and crossed for further post and head there to pick dostawił Kownacki, scoring his second goal in this meeting.
Hit “Kownasia” basically ended the game. Guests no longer had the strength to attack, and even Lekhs were reluctant to major offensive and forcing the pace, because on Sunday waiting for their next important league clash with Korona Kielce.
Błękitni said goodbye to the Polish Cup dream one step ahead of the final at the National Stadium, but for many fans and so are the winners. For such is the wonderful “adventures” are Polish Cup game.
