The starting lineup of the Polish champion included John Yeboah. Raków paid Śląsk Wrocław EUR 1.5 million for the German winger. Meanwhile, in Legia, from the first minute, Juergen Elitim and Patryk Kun, who were brought in in the summer, presented themselves from the first minute, who recently represented the colors of… Raków. Marc Gual, the top scorer of the previous season, brought from Jagiellonia Białystok, started the match on the bench of the team from the capital.
Crossbar, post, crossbar
In the 11th minute Bogdan Racovitan headed dangerously after a corner kick. After the Romanian’s shot, the ball brushed against the crossbar of Kacper Tobiasz’s goal.

As it turned out, this was the most dangerous situation created by either team in the first half of the match. The clash between Raków and Legia before the break certainly did not impress. There was a lot of fighting in the middle of the pitch, and there was no accuracy at the goal.
Legia had a good start to the second half of the match. In the 57th minute Tomas Pekhart headed from close range. The Czech striker hit the post. A moment later Vladan Kovacevic defended a strong shot by Paweł Wszołek.
In extra time, Marcin Cebula had the match ball. From a sharp angle, he tried to beat Tobias with a clever undercut. And this time the shooter was out of luck. The crossbar saved Legia again.

Penalty again
The fans did not wait for goals in the regular time of the game. After 90 minutes, the game was to be decided by penalty kicks. Interestingly, the fans saw the same scenario during the last Polish Cup final, in which both teams faced each other. Then the players of Legia, who won 6:5, performed the eleven better.
In the Super Cup, after the first two series it was 2:2. In the third, Tobiasz defended Cebula’s shot, and a moment later Blaz Kramer made it 3:2 for Legia.
Stan evened out in the fourth series, when first Legia’s goalkeeper was defeated by Milan Rundić, and then Kovacevic won a duel with Maciej Rosołek.
In the fifth series, Josue responded successfully to Giannis Papanikolaou’s goal. I had to keep shooting.
Ben Lederman hit, Gual hit too.
Finally, Jean Carlos approached the ball and… he sent the ball over the crossbar! The case of Legia’s victory could be settled by Maik Nawrocki. The defender was not mistaken, although Kovacevic was close to defending. Again, the footballers of the club from Warsaw can enjoy the triumph.
