After Friday’s goalless draw between Raków Częstochowa and Stala Mielec, Legia Warszawa could get closer to the league leader by five points. For this to happen, Kosta Runjaic’s team had to beat Cracovia at Łazienkowska Street.
This is not how penalties are carried out! Fatal shot by Josue against Cracovia
The Sunday match in Warsaw from the beginning did not go well for the hosts, who lost a goal in the 9th minute, when, after a fatal mistake by Filip Mladenović, the situation “one-on-one” with Legia’s goalkeeper was used by Michał Rakoczy.
The league’s vice-leaders rushed to make up for the losses. Before the break, they failed to do this, but just after the start of the second half, they received a gift from their rivals. After a senseless foul by Michał Siplak on Paweł Wszołek, Legia had a penalty kick.
Josue came up to the ball and … he hit badly. The Portuguese shot lightly, right in the middle and the ball might even be heading over the crossbar, but just in case it was easily rebounded by the goalkeeper of “Pasy” Karol Niemczycki and the result did not change.
This goal slightly undercut the wings of the attacking Legia, which needed several minutes to get back on track. The hosts equalized in the 80th minute after Maik Nawrocki’s shot, but two minutes later they fell asleep again in the defense, which was used by Jakub Jugas.
Legia finally saved a point three minutes before the end of the regular time thanks to Tomas Pekhart, but had to accept the 2:2 draw with Cracovia with disappointment anyway. Its loss to the leader Raków Częstochowa remained unchanged and still amounts to seven points.
