Widzew Lodz produced a clinical first-half comeback to defeat Lech Poznań 2-1 in a crucial Ekstraklasa encounter. After falling behind to Gísli Thórdarson's 28th-minute opener, the hosts responded with devastating efficiency through Fran Álvarez's equalizer just six minutes later and Emil Kornvig's winner seven minutes into the second half. Kornvig was particularly influential, not only scoring the decisive goal but also showing his combative spirit with a booking for arguing with officials. The match became increasingly fractious as it progressed, with five yellow cards handed out including late bookings for substitutes Pablo Rodríguez and Ali Gholizadeh, reflecting Lech's frustration at failing to find an equalizer despite making multiple attacking substitutions.
