Copper was not afraid and beat Pogoń. Heroes of Petteri Forsell

In Legnica the fans were eager for each passing day. They bought almost all the passes and almost filled the stadium with them. White eagle. In the end, only a beloved team makes its debut in the LOTTO Ekstraklasa competition. The fans did their job, but their mood after the first 90 minutes in the top league depended on what the players would present.

– We focus on success and will be at Ekstraklasa. I assume full responsibility as a trainer. Of course, we will not play for maintenance. I am ambitious and I like to set myself high goals. We will work hard for a good result, which for us is definitely the top eight. We will not be afraid of the rival and I promise all this – Dominik Nowak said during the pre-game conference and after the first minutes of Friday's meeting, it was possible to say that his players kept their word.

Legnica attacked mainly on the left side, where Henrik Ojamaa, known for the performances of Legia Warsaw, repeatedly invited David Niepsuja to the arena. Pogoń's right defender could not cope with the winged Copper, but the crosses did not find the catcher in the penalty area. Hunting has attacked less frequently, but that does not mean it is less dangerous. Adam Frączczak, Łukasz Sapela had to intervene with Tomasz Hołota's shot.

Nevertheless, the initiative was on the side of the hosts, who threatened from time to time the door guarded by Jakub Bursztyn. Frank Adu Kwame's shot was stopped only on the post, and several times in Pogoń's defensive ranks there was absolute chaos.

Despite two consultation breaks with the VAR wagon, there was no concrete, we did not know any doors to break.

In the second half, the players of both teams started from top, looking for opportunities to score the first goal this season. Young defender Pogon Sebastian Walukiewicz struck a dangerous shot, but Łukasz Sapela showed himself at the height of the task.

However, with the abandonment of these lucrative opportunities, there was less and less. Zvonimir Kożulj, who replaced Sebastian Kowalczyk at the break, was more visible to him, but the good moves were related to the weak. The Pogon's actions were generally created by Radosław Majewski and Adam Frączczak. The Szczecin players struggled to make quick decisions, which prevented them from beating Sapela.

The enthusiasm of the first minutes dropped, feeding on the side, at the back, the quiet construction of the action began. The so-called "football failures", which usually characterize the first moments of the LOTTO Ekstraklasa matches, started this time around 65 minutes. The closer he was to the end of the meeting, the more he watched 0: 0.

Despite the entry of Petteri Forsella, Copper was unable to resume the initiative that he had in the first 45 minutes. Dominik Nowak tried to revive his team and, apart from Fina, he also named Fabian Piasecki for the field, but this decision did not have the desired effect.

In the 82nd minute, Pogoń had the chance to win the entire pot, but Frączczak's shot was blocked, and instead of a shot on goal after the corner was a consequence of that block, we we had a mistake.

When everyone thought of a quick and peaceful return home, Wojciech Łobodziński and Petteri Forsell had other plans. In the 91 minute he gave first, he found a spot in the penalty area and with a nice shot, he opened the copper goal balance at LOTTO Ekstraklasa.

Thus, the historic beginning of "Miedzianka" is over with happiness, although he has long felt without playing drawing. Copper in line with the announcements of Dominik Nowak played bravely, offensively, without respect for Pogoń Szczecin. Although it was necessary to wait for the first goal, it must be said that the newcomer deserved it.

Copper in a good mood next Friday will go to Krakow, where he will play with the local Vistula.
