The great Josue gave Legia three points

The guests take to the field in Lubin knowing that Raków Czêstochowa won their match a few hours earlier, defeating Piast Gliwice (1:0) at home. Kosta Runjaic’s players were ten points behind the leader before the first whistle and could not afford a slip-up if they still dreamed of the championship title. However, Zagłębie Lubin was also interested in the match at Jasna Góra, because their direct rival in the fight for relegation is Piast, over whom they had three points advantage. Waldemar Fornalik’s players won 3:0 against Śląsk Wroc³aw a week earlier, and Legia won 3:2 against Korona Kielce at home.

Josue’s mastery gave Legia the lead

The first half was quite open, although there were few situations that we could say were “100 percent”. Kacper Chodyna hit the hosts hard, but his shot was saved by Kacper Tobiasz. Adamski also had chances after the corner kick, but much more was happening under Jasmin Buric’s goal. Ernest Muci was active, he fired a few shots, although once he did it exaggeratedly, because he could pass to unguarded Paweł Wszołek.

It was the right swing that gave Legia the lead in the 37th minute, but Josue deserved the greatest distinction in this action. The Portuguese sent a perfect long pass behind the defense line to Wszołek, who won the duel with Aleks Ławniczak. The defender of Zagłębie fell over and the 30-year-old Legia player defeated Jasmin Buric. The Bosniak had saved the hosts from conceding a goal several times before, but this time he couldn’t. VAR analyzed the clash between Wszołek and Ławniczak for quite a long time, but did not find any fault. Aleksander Woźniak, who played on the left-back due to staff shortages in the “Copper” team, also did not behave well from this action.

Legia, like a week ago, put itself to sleep

After the change of sides, the hosts tried to make up for the losses, but apart from braver attempts, it did not bring a positive result. At the end of the first quarter of the second half, their enthusiasm could have faded when Legia scored the second goal. Once again, Josue made himself known – this time from a standing ball. The Portuguese played a free kick into the penalty area, and Ernest Muci hit the ball there. The Albanian, after many attempts, finally put the ball in the net, and Josue scored his second assist in this match.

In the next minutes, there was no indication that Zagłębie could return to the game, until suddenly, in the 66th minute, Łukasz Łakomy fired a long-range shot. He did it with his worse right foot, which completely surprised Kacper Tobiasz, even though he had about 25 meters to the goal. The 22-year-old is a former Legia Warszawa player who was educated at its academy. He has been playing in Lubin for two years. In the visiting team, the demons from the previous match could wake up, in which they were already leading by three goals, and allowed the rival to reach one goal.

The last twenty minutes are a lot of uncertainty on the part of Legia, which at times, especially at the end of the game, was in a lot of trouble due to the increasing attacks from Zagłębie. Kacper Chodyna was active throughout the match and he was close to defeating Kacper Tobiasz, but the ball passed the right post of Legia’s goal.

The guests survived the end of the match and for the second time in the spring they collected three points. The architect of this victory was undoubtedly Josue, who scored two assists. Kosta Runjaic’s players kept their distance from the leader Raków Częstochowa. They have seven points behind them.
