Widzew Łódź in the 1/8 finals of the Polish Cup! Early Thursday afternoon, the team from Piłsudski defeated Lechia Zielona Góra in an away game after a series of penalty kicks with great difficulty and remained in the fight for the trophy. The hero of the guests was Said Hamulić, the author of the equalizing goal and two assists for the partners’ goals.
The match started with a balanced positional attack by the Łódź team. Already in the 2nd minute he received a good cross pass Kamil Cybulski and wanting to finish the action himself with a shot from near the penalty area line, he clearly missed. However, it must be given to their rivals that they did not intend to “park the bus” and were also looking for an opportunity to test their form Jan Krzywański. However, the red-white-red were more specific in this, and he wasted a good counterattack Said Hamulićand after a neat move over the crossbar, he shot it Noah Diliberto.
Widzew’s advantage began to increase, they controlled the ball for a long time in the half Lechiabut it was difficult for them to break through the massed defense nets of the Zielona Góra residents. From time to time, the locals tried to surprise the favorites Ekstraklasa and in the 27th minute Dawid Dębski easily found himself in the penalty area and in the clash with Kreshnikiem Hajrizim was knocked down by Kosovar. After analysis OUR judge Sebastian Jarzębak He also watched the replay on the monitor and pointed to the 11th meter! He approached the ball Mateusz Lisowski and he opened the scoring with a confident shot! The match began to unfold in the same way as in September Toruń, and after a while it could become much more difficult. However, after a good cross from the right, he wasted a great opportunity to quickly increase the score Jakub Kołodenny.
RTS he didn’t have to go to break losing. He was well served in the 40th minute Imad Rondicbut scored too easily for the header Wojciech Fabisiakwho caught the ball in his hands. This situation also happened Hamulić, but he was successfully blocked by one of the defenders. Once again she found the ball Kolodenny, however, he failed to fire a shot from close range. In extra time Hilary Gong he passed the football to Rondicia, and he scored a successful header Hamulić, but it was still 0:1.
The worst-case scenario began to look into the guests’ eyes, so during the break the coaching staff reacted, among others: three personnel changes. They appeared on the pitch from the beginning of the second half Samuel Kozlovsky, Jakub Łukowski and Frank Alvarez. However, those who thought that immediately after the change of sides were wrong were wrong Widzew will launch a furious attack, because the hosts controlled the course of the competition. They neutralized the actions thanks to good organization of the defensive game, and they could also count on the team’s inaccuracies Piłsudski at key moments.
Lechia she wasn’t going to lose faith in the surprise yet and wasn’t giving up her defense. In turn, the Widzew team tried to close the match by striking a third blow. However, there was a lot of chaos on the pitch on both sides and there were no clear opportunities to change the result. It would be expected that with three levels separating the two teams, the guests would be able to control the competition without any major problems, but instead they allowed their rivals to win a set piece, after which Przemysław Mycan defeated with his head Krzywański, leading to another draw! Team Sebastiana Mordala was even closer to deciding the match at the very end of the regular time, but in the end the score was 2:2 and overtime was necessary!
The additional thirty minutes could also have started perfectly for the Lech team, but Mycan there was no finalization. Then we watched again RTS in a positional attack, but too slow and formulaic to pose a big threat to the goal Fabian. Only in the 99th minute Alvarez activated the soft center Łukowski, and he wasted a great chance to score. To make matters worse, the injury made it impossible to continue this performance Hamuliciowi in an optimal way. Bosnian he moved on the pitch with obvious problems, but decided to stay on it. There was some confusion in the opponent’s penalty area, but in Zielona Góra it was still a draw.
Immediately after the change of sides, the Łódź team created a 100% situation. Reserve Jakub Sypek passed to a perfectly positioned player at the 10-meter mark Hamulicia, but the limping attacker overshot significantly. Another substitute hit too easily – Hubert Sobol. The Widzew team had about ten minutes to avoid the risk of a series of penalty kicks. You could feel that this fact fueled them, but on the other hand it increased the inaccuracy of the play due to the rush. Finally, the 115th minute came and he shined Loose. The midfielder decided to dribble, thanks to which he gained a shooting position, aimed at the long corner and beat the goalkeeper! Right at the end Lechia She went on a desperate offensive and won a corner kick, after which there was a huge confusion in front of the visitors’ goal. It turned out that he stopped the ball flying into the net with his hand Kozlovsky, for which he received a red card and converted the penalty into a goal for the second time today Lisowski. Right after that Rowanhawk overtime ended and we waited for a penalty shootout!
The red-white-red team won the draw, so they were the first to start the competition. He probably made his attempt Sobol, and then he followed suit Łukasz Maćkowiak. They weren’t wrong either Marek Hanousek i Rafał Figieland in the third round Łukowski and Mateusz Zientarski. Emotions reached their peak when he scored a goal in the fourth series Mateusz Żyroand right after it Krzywański stopped the blow Mycana! So he had an opportunity to end the fight Alvarez, who probably cheated Wojciech Fabisiak and gave his team a promotion!
