Legia Warszawa is the team with which Lech Poznań has played the most matches in its almost 98-year-old and rich history (133 matches). The first duel between the players of Railwayman and the legionnaires took place in 1948. At that time Lech defeated Legia in Poznan 5:4. A year later he won even higher, because as much as 4:1. In the first 5 matches Railwayman managed to win 4 times.

Including league matches, those in the Polish Cup and in the Polish Super Cup, there was no draw in any of the last 19 matches (at that time Lech achieved 8 wins with 11 Legia wins). The last draw took place in autumn 2014 in Warsaw (2:2) and in Poznan in autumn 2013 (1:1).

This is how the games in the last seasons were shaping up at the turn of the last season, you can see who won and where : 2017/2018: Lech – Legia 3:0 , 2017/2018: Legia – Lech 2:1 , 2017/2018: Lech – Legia 0:3 (walkover), 2018/2019: Legia – Lech 1:0 , 2018/2019: Lech – Lech 2:0 , 2018/2019: Lech – Legion 1:0 , 2019/2020: Lech – Lech 2:1, but the fact that draws rarely occur in recent years in matches between Lech and Legia doesn’t change. The last time it happened was in 2014.

The most famous event of Saturday’s match was… fireworks. A quarter of an hour before the end of the game, a small pyrotechnic show started over the stadium. As it turned out later, behind all of it there were Legia fans who fired firecrackers in the colours of the capital’s club.

In the first half there were not many dangerous situations and synth actions. The Legion scored a goal after the bizarre intervention of Lech’s goalie. After the mediation of Valerian Gwilla Mickey van der Hart fisted in the back of defender Djordje Crnomarkovic.

17 minutes of the match Tomas Pekhart made it to the grid, but with great help from the hosts. After the median’s free kick, Lech’s goalkeeper intervened and bounced the ball in the back of Crnomarkovic. (Lech’s goalkeeper Mickey van der Hart jumped to a non-dangerous mediation of Valerian Gvila, but he knocked the ball straight into the back of his friend Djordje Crnomarkovic. The ball flew towards Lech’s goal, bounced off the crossbar, and was then knocked into the net by Tomasz Pekhart at close range.

In the second half it started in the 47th minute. Pekhart was the first to attack after the break. A powerful shot with his left leg. Nice try, but lacking accuracy

55 minutes fantastic action for Lech . After Ramirez has been meditated on by the defenders of the Legion, Crnomarkovic breaks off and defeats Majecki. But the flag is up! There will be a VAR, because the situation was a contact
After all, there is no goal. Crnomarkovic on a centimeter burned

In the 62nd minute after Tiby was played, Filip Marchwiński struck, and Majecki did well. Railwayman started to play a bit better.

Crossbar! After being centrifuged from the corner throw, he bounced back with his head and smelled the goal.

The last five minutes. This is the moment when Lech has to bet everything on one card. There’s nothing to wait for!

84 minutes Antolić good action and scored a strong hit on the goal, but unfortunately straight into the hands of van der Hart from Lech.

In the added time, there was still an opportunity when he was also on the second goal for Legia. He was afraid to shoot Karbownik, while Jędrzejczyk’s shot (?) did not work out. The ball was taken over by the hosts.

We saw only one goal by Tomas Pekhart, who defeated ” Railwayman ” in his empty stadium 1-0 after this match Lech Poznan moves to fifth place in the table and must fight hard for the Champions League and for UEFA matches in Europe.

For the first time this season we win the match without being a much better or dominant team. We did not play at our best level, at first we could not catch our proper rhythm. Usually with such a game, the meetings ended in a draw, or our defeat. That’s why this victory also has an additional value for me,” said Aleksandar Vukovic, Coach of Warsaw Legion for Polsat Sport.
