The Black Thursday of Polish football. They immediately pointed the finger at the culprit. "It's not the first time he's messed up."
Lech Poznań seemed to have the match under control in Madrid. They took an early lead through a goal from Luis Palma and were 2-0 up before halftime. However, the tide turned in the second half, ending in stoppage time when they took a 3-2 lead at Rayo and ultimately defeated the Polish champions.
"Miraculous" changes by Frederiksen. This isn't the first time he's blown a match like this," wrote Bartosz Wieczorek of TVP Sport. "Niels Frederiksen should be fired. He won't win anything with this coach. Horrible changes, poor squad management, not for the first time. Lech is regressing. The championship was won on a whim. Another thing is that the summer transfers (apart from Palma) have been complete failures so far," he added.
"The right wing ruined the match for Lech. Pereira was terrible in defense (Gumny was even worse), Ismaheel is obvious," analyzes Jan Piekutowski, a journalist from the website Męskieki.pl.
"Too much disproportion between the players brought on from the bench on both sides. There was an incredible final scrimmage at Vallecas. Rayo deserved to win in the second half. Lech failed to maintain the quality, effectiveness, and commitment of the first half. And above all, the result. Black Thursday," adds his editorial colleague Dawid Dobrasz.
"Black Thursday for our football. One point. Nightmare," summed up Piotr Słonka (known on this website as Buckaroo Banzai).
"Unfortunately. But after a match like that, it's hard for me to criticize Lech Poznań. The players left a lot of heart on the pitch. It felt a bit like Villarreal. It's a shame Rodriguez missed the opportunity and Ismaheel made the mistake," says Radosław Laudański from TVP Sport.
"You have 50 seconds left in the fourth and final minute of added time. The ball is at the goalkeeper's feet. And you concede such a goal, such points. It's unbelievable how Lech lost this match. How the players they recently acquired lost it, because Rodriguez had it 3-0 and Ismaheel... Ugh," summed up Żelisław Żyżyński, commentator for Canal+ Sport.
