Lechia Gdansk needed only three minutes to get their first goal. This happened with a good help from Wisla’s goal keeper who let the ball go after the home team’s attack. Marco Paixao profited from Seweryn Kielpin’s mistake and scored. At the 17th minute, after a cross by Marco Paixao, Krasic appeared totally unmarked in Wisla Plock’s box. He didn’t miss the chance, making the second goal for Lechia Gdansk, which totally dominated the match. At the end of first half, Portuguese forward Marco Paixao reappeared to make his 11th goal of the season. After a corner, Wojtkowiak served Marco Paixao that only had to take advantage from a Slask Wroclaw’s ineffective defense.
In the second half, Lechia Gdansk continued to be the sole leader of the game. What is more, they almost got the fourth goal after another mistake by Wisla’s defense at the 64th minute. This time, Marco Paixao could not beat Wisla’s keeper though. At the 72nd minute, another mistake of Wisla’s defense allowed Flavio Paixao to run unmarked towards the goal. However, Paixao gave one touch more than needed in the ball and could not score as the keeper managed to save. In the added time, Wisla Plock players managed to get a shot to Lechia’s goal. Dusian Kuciak easily managed to put the ball away with the foot.
