“Tomasz Pienko booked for time wasting as Raków look to slow the game down and frustrate Lech's rhythm before the break.”
“Leo Bengtsson scores the only goal of the match, finishing off a move assisted by Juan Pablo Rodriguez Guerrero just three minutes after coming on as a substitute.”

Outstanding performance
Lech Poznań•DefenderLech Poznań dictated the tempo throughout, racking up 27 shots to Raków's 8 and creating five big chances to their opponents' none, but wastefulness in front of goal kept the scoreline level deep into the second half. Raków, content to sit in and absorb pressure, offered little going forward beyond a couple of half-chances from Filip Jagiello and Mahir Madatov, and their goalkeeper's five saves were the only thing keeping them level for as long as they did. The breakthrough finally came through the bench, with substitute Leo Bengtsson needed only three minutes after coming on to convert a Juan Pablo Rodriguez Guerrero assist and settle the contest. For Lech, it's another step forward in the title race built on control and patience rather than flair, while Raków will be frustrated at how passive they were for long stretches against a side they'll likely meet again in the business end of the season.
