Promotion was born in pain. Legia Warsaw fans breathed a sigh of relief

Legia Warsaw defeated Brondby IF 3:2 in the first match. This put them in a good position for the rematch, which they played at home. Meanwhile, the Danes showed from the very beginning of the second match how much they wanted to make up for the losses. You could say that Legia was in big trouble.

Legia made up for the losses

In the 38th minute, Brondby took the lead. Sergio Barcia played the ball with his hand and the referee awarded a penalty. Daniel Wass sent the ball into the middle of the goal and confused Kacper Tobiasz, who had made many good saves earlier. The goal for Brondby suggested that it could be a hot match in the two-legged tie. Fortunately, Legia equalized in the 43rd minute. Radovan Pankov scored with a header. Ruben Vinagre crossed from the free kick.

Nothing major happened until the end of the first half, and a draw was a great result for Legia, considering how offensive-minded their rival was.

The Legion escaped from under the axe

In the second half of the match, there were several heated situations in the Legia Warsaw penalty area. In one situation, the Cypriot referee went to the VAR monitor. However, Yuito Suzuki tried to force a penalty and there was no foul on Claude Goncalves’ part. Wass wanted to remind the fans of himself again. In the 66th minute, he shot from distance and the ball flew slightly over the crossbar.

Legia did not pose much of a threat in front of the Danes’ goal. Goncalo Feio’s team focused mainly on defending the result and counterattacking. Ryota Morishita had two opportunities, but he did not use them. Tobiasz, on the other hand, played brilliantly in Legia’s goal, defending a shot by Noah Nartey in the 83rd minute. The result did not change until the end of the match, which allowed Legia Warsaw to advance to the fourth round of the Europa Conference League qualifiers. The pass to this stage is pleasing, but Legia must improve its game.
