3 – 1
“Sebastian Bergier broke the deadlock just ten minutes in, giving Widzew an early foothold in the match and setting the tone for a dominant home performance.”
Pivotal“Bergier struck again on 28 minutes to double Widzew's advantage, effectively ending Lechia as an attacking threat and putting the hosts in total command.”
Pivotal“Steve Kapuadi made it 3-0 with just eight minutes of the half remaining, completing a devastating first-half blitz that left Lechia with an insurmountable mountain to climb.”
Pivotal“Ivan Zhelizko, who had been booked earlier in the half, pulled one back for Lechia to give the scoreline a degree of respectability, though it was far too little to mount a genuine comeback.”
“Juljan Shehu was shown a second yellow card for a foul, reducing Lechia to ten men in the final minutes and ending any remote hope of a miraculous late fightback.”

Outstanding performance
Widzew Lodz•AttackerWidzew Łódź were utterly dominant in the first half, scoring three times before the break to put this contest beyond any doubt. Sebastian Bergier opened the scoring as early as the 10th minute and doubled the lead at 28, before Steve Kapuadi capitalised on sustained pressure to make it 3-0 at 37 — a spell that left Lechia Gdańsk shell-shocked heading into the interval. The hosts controlled possession at 52 percent and fashioned three big chances to Lechia's none, a stat that underscores just how one-sided the first 45 minutes truly were. Lechia showed some fight after the break, with Ivan Zhelizko pulling one back on 66 minutes, but the response came from a side with nothing to lose and Widzew — despite the late chaos of Juljan Shehu's second yellow — never looked like surrendering their lead. For Widzew, the win reinforces their mid-table solidity and form heading into the final stretch of the Ekstraklasa season, while Lechia's inability to compete at the top level of intensity for a full 90 minutes will concern their coaching staff.
