#POLONIA WARSAW

After a horror derby game Legia’s footballers coped with their local rivals from Konwiktorska winning 2-1 at their stadium on Saturday evening. The final goal was struck in the injury time by Dominik Furman.

Legia Warsaw only drew 1-1 with its local rival Polonia on Friday evening. Both goals were struck in the first half. The first one was scored by Legia’s opponents in the 29th minute of the match. Daniel Łukasik lost the ball in the central part of the field and after a very fast attack Polonia’s Wladimir Dwaliszwili defeated Legia’s goalkeeper.

According to "Przegląd Sportowy", Legia’s coaching staff is seriously interested in Polonia Warsaw’s Paweł Wszołek. It seems that the only thing that could stand in the way to buy the winger is his exorbitant price. Wszołek came to Polonia from Wisła Tczew three years ago. He appeared in 28 matches and scored three goals last season.

In the derby game which took place at the General Kazimierz Sosnowski Stadium on Sunday, Polonia Warsaw defeated 2-1 its local rival Legia. This has been the third league match in a row that was lost by the team from Czerniaków. The only goal for Legia was scored by Miroslav Radović in the first half of the game. Goals for Polonia were struck by Jodłowiec and Cani.

There were about 23.000 supporters who gathered in the stands of Legia’s new stadium on Sunday evening. Legia’s fans prepared two amazing stands shows – the first in the beginning, and the second at the end of the match. At first, thanks to thousands of small colourful waving flags we were able to see a huge description "LEGIA". Then, Legia’s supporters launched some stroboscopes and flares. We induce you to see two videos with Legia’s fans’ stands shows and support below.

In the derby match, which took place at Marshal Józef Piłsudski Polish Army Stadium on Sunday, Legia defeated 1-0 its local rival Polonia Warsaw. The only goal of the game was stroke by... Polonia’s Maciej Sadlok in the 26th minute. During whole 90 minutes these were Legia’s footballers who predominated over their opponents. Unfortunately, they wasted some great opportunities to score a few more goals. That’s why they only won 1-0.We encourage you to see Mishka’s photo report from the game.

Due to a friendly game against FC Arsenal last Saturday, Legia played its first match in the league against its local rival on Friday evening. Unfortunately, the lineup chosen by Maciej Skorża, didn’t succeed at all. Footballers from Ujazdów were beaten 3-0 by the team from Muranów. All goals were scored in the second half. There were about 5.000 Polonia’s supporters in the stands. Legia’s fans didn’t come to the stadium at Konwiktorska, because in their opinion they weren’t given enough tickets. We encourage you to see two photo-reports from the match: - the first one taken by Mishka - and the second one taken by Hagi.

According to "Przegląd Sportowy", Alejandro Cabral isn't the only Legia's player who may not appear in the game against Polonia Warsaw. The same issue regarding lack of required certificates concerns the new attacker of Warsaw team Bruno Mezenga. Neither Cabral's nor Mezenga's documents have been delivered to Warsaw yet and this means that both of them can't be taken into consideration while choosing the lineup for the game against Polonia.

“I can’t play against Polonia Warsaw, because my certificate hasn’t been delivered to Warsaw yet” – said Alejandro Cabral in an interview for “Przegląd Sportowy”. The situation with the player wasn’t put in the picture on Wednesday afternoon, however there were assurances according to which the documents should have been complemented on the same day in the evening. That’s why all is not lost yet.

Due to the recent tragedy of Polish presidential plane near Smoleńsk in Russia and the fact that coffins with bodies of the victims have been transported to Torwar, Legia had to play its match against Jagiellonia at Polonia΄s stadium. No one was able to enter the stadium at Konwiktorska 6 in Warsaw. Fortunately, Legia managed to defeat 2-1 the team from Białystok. The first goal was scored by Tomasz Kiełbowicz in the 5th minute of the game. Thirty minutes later Legia΄s Bartłomiej Grzelak stroke the second goal for Warsaw club.

Fans who gathered at Legia's stadium on Friday had to watch a very poor local derby match between two Warsaw teams – Legia and Polonia. The game finished with the result 1-1, but both goals were stroke quite accidentally. Frankly, neither Legia nor Polonia were able to create appropriate situations to score goals during the match. We encourage you to see 30 photographs taken by Piotr Kucza.

According to "Przegląd Sportowy", Legia is trying to buy Ruch Chorzów's player, Maciej Sadlok. Warsaw team was interested in the midfielder much earlier, nevertheless "Niebiescy" wanted then for their player almost one million zloty. Lech Poznań and Polonia Warsaw have been recently interested in the transfer of the footballer, too.

In Swiss Nyon at 1.30 p.m. there was the third qualifying round draw of the UEFA Europa League. Legia Warsaw or Olimpi Rustawi plays against Broendby Copenhagen or Flora Tallinn. Flora defeated Broendby in the first leg in Copenhagen 1-0.

"In the UEFA Europa League every team wants to show the best and to go as far as possible. This refers to us and to Olimpi Rustawi as well. Surely we are not going to pass up the match against Georgians. We have to play to the highest limit and achieve a good result if we don't want to stress in Rustawi in the second leg. However, we have to be careful and ready for the unexpected. A good example of this is Polonia Warsaw which was defeated at its own stadium" – said Adrian Paluchowski. 22-year-old attacker can be sure of his debut in the European games.
