Przed three weeks Stanislav Cherchesov team defeated on away Chojniczanka 2: 1, and the only disaster could make the citizens of Warsaw will not find in the last four games. Wednesday rematch at Łazienkowska was supposed to be just a formality. And if not for the first half hour in the implementation of the Legion, you would write that this was the case.
The meeting began very well for the visitors who are already in the fifth minute unexpectedly took the lead. Defensive error committed Michal Kopczyński, and after a quick counterattack in the post first hit Patrick Mikita and effective striking Andrew matters worse Rybski.
For 30 minutes, Czerczesowa team played badly, sometimes even fatal. Although the offensive set Chojniczanka left a runners-Polish plenty of space to attack, then you could not threaten the goal Dominica Hładuna.
As announced in the pre-match press conference on Wednesday a challenge coach of the Legion made several changes to the starting XI. Chances received by those who in the first month of Czerczesowa at Łazienkowska many did not play. Among them reserve goalkeeper Arkadiusz Painter, set to the uncharacteristic position of central defense Kopczyński Dominik Furman and forwards Marek Saganowski and Aleksandar Prijović.
It was 25-year-old striker gave warszawianom signal to wake up and determined attack . 31 min. Serb with a Swiss passport clicked head the ball back across goal and there from close range to equalize led Stojan Vranjes.
It was a great eight minutes in the implementation of legionaries, which determined the fate of the entire competition. Two minutes after recorded in assists, Prijović to their work has made a goal. With a well-struck free kick Furman, but the ball bounced off the crossbar. However striker waited for the same goal and led Varsovians lead.
by bored, sometimes whistling fans, the first few minutes of poor game in 39 minutes. Tomasz Brzyski compensated. Legia defender found himself unmarked at a distance of about 25 meters from the gate rivals, looked at Hładuna and instead of a goal effort on goal. Effect? A wonderful goal, after which Michał Kucharczyk caught just behind the head.
That ended any emotion at Łazienkowska. After the break the hosts calmly controlled the game and did not allow Chojniczance to create dangerous attacks. Warszawianom did not lack ambition but – in 64 minutes. Brzyski strike on goal turned entered the pitch in the second half Nemanja Nikolic.
The result has not been changed, although the legionaries occasion was missing. His chance did not seize the guys who played the last minutes of the predominance of one player.
