the strong favorite of this meeting, and the team from Ireland was supposed to be just a stopover on the way to the next phase. The coach Dean Klafurić again decided to settle with three defenders, who he had already tested in Supercup with Arka Gdynia.
The start of the match was pretty good for the Legia players who threatened twice Cork City goal. However, Jose Kante's blow and Michał Kucharczyk's volley both passed the post. Later, the champions of Poland stayed long on the ball, but they did not create suitable situations.
In the 28th minute, Legia finally found the way to the goal of the opponent. Mateusz Wieteska made a great pass for the defensive line, Cafu, with a passably passive attitude of the goalkeeper, recovered the ball and Jose Kante completed the formalities by shooting the empty goal
Two minutes later the Cork players had a very dangerous situation. Jimmy Keohane decides to head in a shot from far but the ball misses the goalkeeper Arkadiusz Malarz. The end of the first half was the domination of Legia, who failed to create opportune opportunities and headed to the locker room with a modest one-on-one.
After the change of camp, Legia started again. After a series of corners, the hosts twice threaten the goal of the opponent. Wieteska was shooting the ball, but the goalkeeper was Cork, and after a while, Cafu's shot went past the post
In the 54th minute, the defender made a mistake and Kante found himself in front of the striker, but this time Peter Cherrie. Later, guests attempting to enter the Legia's penalty area began to claim more and more often. In the 69th minute, Graham Cummins was found in the penalty area, but his head shot went over the post, although he was not protected.
Miroslav Radović was well preserved in the 72nd minute. The captain of Legia fell into the penalty box, he overtook the rival who had to flee by foul and in this way the home team won a penalty. The injured man himself approached the ball and with a good shot in the window raised the result of the match
After three minutes, he should be 3: 0 for the Legia. The excellent pass along the penalty area was Cafu, he played for the undisciplined Marko Vesović, but this one, being alone with the goalkeeper, hit him directly. In the 86th minute, Carlitos, who started the left flank, went on the field with a left flank, but could not reach the ball.
In the 89th minute, Radović blazed again. On the right wing, he played in the middle of the penalty area until Carlitos, who moved the ball to his right leg and hit the post with a goal of 3: 0, which was his first success for Legia
