Best player of the match: Bartholomew Drągowski

The first half at the Pepsi Arena was a stunt Jagiellonia young goalkeeper. Not only probably he intervened at dośrodkowaniach, but in style also defended some very dangerous situation. Because both coped with a shot from close range by Orlando Sa, as well as a great attempt from distance Thomas Jodłówka. After the change of sides long have less work, as guests of Bialystok started to play much bolder. Drągowski however, he retained his concentration and in the last ten minutes twice stopped the Portuguese striker Legion. Stop the penalty enforced by Sa did not make it, although it was this extremely close.

The worst player of the match: Michael Maslowski

We are not fans of fast canceling of the players after the transfer, but move to Legia Warsaw on a given player puts certain requirements. Acquired in the winter of Zawisza Bydgoszcz midfielder received on Wednesday night the chance to play from the first minute, but presented himself worse than he had done in recent weeks, Slovakian Ondrej Duda. And this is really an achievement.

A crucial step

This is undoubtedly the situation of 55 minutes. It was then that Charles Mackiewicz easily outplayed on the left side of Luke Brozia and played across goal. Experienced Rafal Grzyb perfectly sensed the moment when you had to run into the box and found himself in alone with largely empty goal. With a few meters but hit the post. Jagiellonia missed the chance to take the lead, and in stoppage time lost and heavily worked out for 90 minutes a draw.

The controversy

Judge Paul Gil for 90 minutes ran off perfectly. Unfortunately, their doom counted eight minutes to regulation time and during this period there were two hot situations. At first it seems that the arbitrator was right. Replays showed in fact that Bartosz Bereszyński not decapitated by Przemysław Frankowski. In the eighth minute of added time, probably as a result of signaling assistant chief judge he opted for a penalty kick for the home team. The ball clearly bounced off the hands Giorgi Popchadze, but a repeat of barely one camera on the air station Canal Plus did not show exactly setting the hands entered a few minutes earlier Georgian. To spell a penalty for Legia, which turned into goals Orlando Sa, it is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the current season of T-Mobile Ekstraklasa.

Numbers game

8 – counted for so many minutes the second half of the Judge Paul Gil, and it happened because of rising from the turf smoke from flares lit by fans of the Legion.

13 – so many corners enforce Legia Warsaw. Each was made by Dominic Carter and none of them ended with a shot on goal Drągowskiego.

Our opinion

Even if the match ended in a goalless draw, then we would consider that It was easy to digest meeting as dishes from the kitchen served us under the sign of T-Mobile Ekstraklasa. Overtime games have improved the taste of food zaserwowanej us, although fans from Bialystok can on this subject have a completely different opinion. But the fact is that at this point Legia became the only potential rival for Lech Poznan in the Polish championship fight.
