Lech Poznan players started with victory in the fight for promotion to the Champions League group stage. In the 2nd round qualification match they won 2: 0 away to FK Sarajevo. Polish champion, to achieve the goal, in addition to the Bosnian team must eliminate even the two rivals.
The Polish fans are waiting for a representative in the Champions League group stage already 19 years old. The last of our team, which went to football paradise was Widzew Lodz in 1996/97.
The first obstacle Lech it was not a contender over the top, but you could expect a difficult crossing “Kolejorz”. In the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina play hard, mainly because of the fanatical supporters, called “Horde of Evil”.
The owner of the club from the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the eccentric billionaire Malaysian Vincent Tan. It is thanks to his money, FK Sarajevo won the championship and cup double a year ago. Last season the team reached the fourth round of Europa League qualifying. This time, however, there was no sensationalism.
Lech was a team much better and won deservedly. Meeting in the vast majority of the dictation “Kolejorz,” which measured the hosts lowest possible punishment. Maciej players eager not push for pace, they could have scored at least one goal more, but bring to the Polish advance, which gives them great comfort before the match second leg. Unfortunately, it had claimed loss of two players – Charles Linettego and David Kownackie.
Lech matures in front of the fans, from the team, which was said to have hated to play under pressure, it becomes a team that is very selfish, can use their chances and greatest strengths. Maybe the expectations of Polish fans in recent years strongly declined, but it is worth noting that national championship match against FK Sarajevo was the fifth victory in a row in qualifying for the Europa League and Champions League. It’s definitely worth it to appreciate and keep our fingers crossed that on Thursday the balance got better.
To play in the second qualifying round of Europe League join Slask Wroclaw, Jagiellonia Bialystok and Legia Warsaw.
