Lech Poznan – FK Sarajevo
Wednesday’s clash against FK Sarajevo Lech had only seal promotion to the next phase of the Champions League qualification. In the first match in Bosnia Kolejorz I won with 2: 0 and on his own property he had put the proverbial “dot the i”. Some experts after the first meeting, in which the champion team of Bosnia came out very sluggishly, even argued that Poznanians in front of their home crowd should try to get a high victory.
Lech players before the second leg but tried to tone down the mood, and Maciej Skorża assured that at this time Polish champions it was a midweek match is the most important of the season and no one thinks the rivalry with the Swiss Basel in the next phase. Especially since the mood at the Bulgarian – after a good start to the season – he broke a little inaugural league defeat of the Pursuit of Szczecin. None of the tragedy, of course, he did, but it was some kind of warning. In Poznan, let’s not forget that a team from Sarajevo in its recent past matches in Europe in rewanżach could recover from the first meeting. And to Poznan he came strengthened its captain Ivan Tatomiroviciem that the first meeting could not play because of the cards.
The mood in Poznan worse injuries certainly important players – one was that he would not be able to play David Kownacki, which awaits the injured leg surgery and several weeks off, and a big question mark became a performance of Thomas curls and Charles Linetty’ego – he in Bosnia he left the pitch in the first half because of a back injury biceps femoris. Kędziora eventually found himself in the starting line-up Kolejorz, Linetty’ego run out even on the bench. In the first composition of Lech he ran well – like in Sarajevo – Denis Thomalla and it was Germany, not Marcin Robak was responsible for scoring goals for Poznan.
Lech took the initiative from the first whistle of Scottish referee Kevin Clancy and was quickly rewarded. Łukasz Trałka was fouled just before the penalty area, the ball came Barry Douglas and perfect free kick put her in the “window” gateway guests. About the beginning dreamed of just such a Lekhs, because at this point the chances of Bosniaks to the threat of the hosts in aggregate were already really small.
Yes quickly open the result could Kolejorzowi important peace and consent on a gentle slowdown, and it could be needed in the context of the enormous amount of matches that is waiting Poznanians in any time soon. And indeed – after a goal by Douglas Lech slightly lowered the tone, but still had the game under control. The initiative in the middle of the field was sometimes more often on the side of the guests but did not result from this anything that could in any way threaten the goal Jasmina Buricia.
But when Lech accelerate immediately in front of goal Ostrakovicia it was getting dangerous. As in the 23rd minute when Szymon Pawlowski exchanged a quick “plank” with Denis Thomalla and ran just a little precision to midfielder Kolejorz ball perfectly laid out a colleague on the fifth meter, and it would mean a goal – soccer balls stood in the way, however, one of the defense team Bosnia master. A few moments later he got hot under the penalty area visitors, when they tried long range shot from Kasper Hamalainen and Ostraković with not inconsiderable problems hit the ball over themselves.
Jasmin Burić had before the break too much work, because for such a heavily considered several captured “stray” balls and parried one shot from a distance of Leon Benko. Even before the end of the first views his conduct could in turn podwyższych Lech, in cross Pawlowski to Thomalla but lacked accuracy and the German striker was waiting for the ball on the fifth meter in front of goal guests.
In the second half of przytupem tried to enter Szymon Pawlowski, who dribbled entertained with the two rivals, but his entire campaign ended with a failed administration. In response it got dangerously in front of goal Lech, when players from Sarajevo performed a free kick from near the penalty area, but ended up only on fear and offside of one of the Bosnian players.
As could be expected, Lech after the break consistently implement his plan – not force the pace, played quietly, and accelerate just moments by doing a few quick passes to one contact, which It caused quite a stir in the ranks defensive team from Sarajevo. Kolejorz was also dangerous on set pieces – in 63 minutes nearly his second home after one of them in considerable confusion in the penalty area was Douglas, but his shot just before the goal line sliding tackle stopped one of the defenders, Denis Thomalla matters worse sailed over Bosnian crossbar goal.
While Lech did not play very fast, it’s about rivals can say that in the other half decided to stop playing at all and put only lasted until the final whistle. But Kolejorz continue doing his thing, and Maciej Skorża could not afford to change and gave the rest Hamalainenowi, Dudce and Pawłowski, in place of letting go of the pitch, Darko Jevticia, Abdul Aziz Tetteh and returning from a knee injury Gergo Lovrencsics.
Hungary a few moments after the appearance on the pitch can enter on the scoresheet, but he could not make himself at full speed for a shot after great administration of Thomalla. After another few minutes Lovrencsics would also have to account assistance, but at the last minute after his playing aiming to pick Thomalla beat running out of the gate Ostraković.
Kolejorz promoted so for the next phase of qualification for sure, but also the least possible expenditure of energy. That’s good, because rival in the next stage is extremely difficult. Matches of FC Basel will be a real test for Lechitów. Only then we will know how much it really is worth a Polish champion on the European arena.
