“Two goals, two points to divide, two wounded as a result. Steel Mielec And Cracovia did a lot to win this match, but eventually it ended with a 1: 1 draw, after the goals of effective attackers today. This result cannot satisfy anyone, because neither Mielczanie scored invaluable three points in the fight for maintenance, or Cracovia did not gain much in the context of the podium or fourth place ” – Yes, the first match of the 27th round of Ekstraklasa was reported by Sport.pl journalist Bartosz Królikowski.
Lechia did not use the stumble of steel. Two goals in Łódź
After the debut of Ivan Djurdjevic as the coach of Stal Mielec, we were waiting for us … The home debut of the new coach Widzewa Łódź. Żeljko Sopić a week ago in the first meeting in our league he won in Gliwice with Piast 2: 0 and wanted to win the premiere victory in front of his own audience.
The task was not that easy. A radiant win over the Polish champions came to Łódź (1: 0) Lechia Gdañsk. John Carver's players could use a slip -up of steel and jump from the relegation zone to a distance of three points.
There was one condition: three points in Łódź. It is worth recalling that before Friday, both teams this season were already in the Premier League. On September 27, a 1: 1 result fell in Gdańsk. The goals of the penalty kicks were scored by Rifet Capić and Ivhad Rondić. It was known that the script on April 4 would not happen again. Dripping was not available to play, and Rondić left Widzew in winter to FC Koeln.
Lechia wasted the first convenient situation to open the result. In the 18th minute Wjunnyk received a pass on the right wing and immediately crossed the partner's head. Tomas Bobcek hit his head next to the goal guarded by Gikiewicz. If a goal was scored in this situation, he would not be recognized. All because Wjunnyk was on a burnt.
However, this was the first serious warning for the Łódź defensive. The offensive of the team of coach Sopicia made itself felt in the 35th minute. Pawłowski sent a perpendicular pass towards Tupta, but Slovak in a convenient situation was unable to defeat Sarnawski. In this case – just like in a chance for Lechia – it is worth mentioning that he was burned.
Until the break, the fans saw two goals, and Widzew served his fans a replay of entertainment from Gliwice. The same names appeared on the list of shooters, though in the opposite order. First, Samuel Kozlovsky served Juljan Shehu well, and then Fran Alvarez scored a beautiful free kick goal.
The inhabitants of Łódź could lead even higher, but at a 1: 0 state from the penalty kick Bartłomiej Pawłowski hit the crossbar. Lechia was simply helpless at the end of the first part of the game.
After changing sides, the Gdańsk residents did not look much better. Suffice it to say that in the first 20 minutes of the second half the most dangerous situation was … the cross of Tomasz Neugebauer, which none of the partners could cut, but which could surprise Gikiewicz.
Widzew wasted his chance for 3: 0. Tupta found himself in the penalty area, translated the ball and delayed the shot for too long. The loose did not think for a long time, but his shot passed the guests' goal.
In the 72nd minute, Wjunnyk lost the duel with Gikiewicz in a good situation. Widzewa's goalkeeper was also a mountain at the very end, when Głogowski and Olsson tried to beat him. Lechia could not afford more that evening. The inhabitants of Gdańsk lost an important match, did not use the start of points in Mielcz and landed in the relegation zone.
