“It was another Miracle on the Vistula. Legia Warsaw didn't carry out even one coherent action before the break, didn't show any idea for an attack, barely stuck her nose out of her own half and panicked under any pressure from her rivals, and still scored a goal for 1:1. A key goal for advancing to the next round – as it turned out. The emotions didn't subside even after match. Goncalo Feio showed the “Kozakiewicz gesture” and two middle fingers towards the visiting stand, which caused a scuffle between the entire teams” – Dawid Szymczak from Sport.pl wrote after Legia Warszawa advanced to the fourth round of the Conference League qualifiers after winning 4:3 in two matches against Brondby IF.
