Warta Poznań - Lech Poznań 1:2 - Lech wins Polish Championship!

The Poznań derby held in Grodzisk Wielkopolski did not begin well for the side from Bułgarska street. In the 10^th minute, Mickey van der Hart fouled Milan Corryn inside the box, hence the referee awarded Warta with a penalty kick which Michał Kopczyński converted into a goal. The atmosphere within Skorża’s squad became tense.

However, it didn’t take long for Lech to equalize. In the 22nd minute, Joao Amaral changed the score to 1:1 with a beautiful, technical shot into the corner of the goal. Before the referee announced halftime, Mikael Ishak added a goal of his own – the Swede was in the right place at the right time and he redirected Pedro Rebocho’s flat shot from outside the box, therefore surprising the goalkeeper. His tap-in from a close range was impossible to stop.

The second half was very uneventful – Lech remained in control of the game and carefully held onto the win until the last minute. Following the final whistle, the players drove back to their home ground to watch the end of the clash between Raków and Zagłębie. They knew that if their opponent from Częstochowa lost points, Lech would be crowned Champions.

Zagłębie was awarded a penalty kick in the final minutes of the match which Kacper Chodyn successfully converted into a winner. The goal aroused pure ecstasy among Lech’s squad. The players went on to celebrate with the fans until late at night.
