In the second leg of the UEFA Europa League play-off round Legia’s players defeated 2-0 FK Aktobe’s footballers at Łazienkowska on Thursday evening.

Europa League: Legia 2-0 FK Aktobe
The first goal was scored by Michał Kucharczyk, who made use of Michał Żyro’s pass and defeated Aktobe’s goalkeeper. Ivica Vrdoljak was author of Legia’s second goal – he properly executed a penalty.
It’s worth mentioning that Legia’s supporters presented an interesting choreography – UEFA’s logo with a pig inside holding a piece of paper with an inscription “6<1”. Below there was a banner with an inscription “Football doesn’t matter. Money does.”, which was a reference to Warsaw team’s excluding from the UEFA Champions League.
We encourage you to see three photo reports from the game prepared by: Mishka, GeoS and Kamil Marciniak.
