It was an obvious ambition of Widzew.Ł to use their ability at attacking on the flanks. favoritki mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. Attacking on the wings was the choice for Widzew.Ł, and they were successfully passing the ball from the middle to the wings to attack. After 4 minutes, C. Gommers came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 - 0, giving Widzew.Ł the lead. Widzew.Ł's E. Pires Lobo swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. An equalising goal was close at hand, but S. Abad Amorós clipped a free kick just wide of the goal. After 19 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and A. Sáez Gutiérrez gave the Widzew.Ł supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 2 - 0. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Widzew.Ł had most of the ball, with 52 percent of possession.

Widzew.Ł had a good opportunity to attack in the middle, but remembered their instructions to focus on wing attacks instead. With 52 minutes played, Widzew.Ł's E. Siikaoja almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. The referee showed Widzew.Ł's P. Zielaskiewicz the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. A loud groan was heard from the fans of favoritki, as R. Spaller left the pitch in too much pain to finish the match. D. Speelman took his place on the field. Players in Widzew.Ł heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. With 75 minutes played, P. Zielaskiewicz could have brought this one home for Widzew.Ł as he charged up on the left, but his hooked ball went just a bit too high. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave G. Marella from Widzew.Ł a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 76 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Widzew.Ł's C. Gommers was shown a yellow card after 77 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Widzew.Ł were given a gift! The ref dubiously awarded them a penalty 81 minutes into the match, which was neatly put away by J. Kos. 3 - 0 for the home side. Content with how the game was proceeding, the Widzew.Ł coach let A. Chamas replace A. Bustos after 81 minutes. The Widzew.Ł captaincy was handed to G. Marella. Confident in their lead, Widzew.Ł's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Widzew.Ł claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

The most dominating Widzew.Ł player was without a doubt A. Sáez Gutiérrez. M. Cruz on the other hand, had a terrible day. favoritki's top performer was clearly R. van Meenen. D. Speelman was a disappointment, however. The match ends 3 - 0.
