WARSAW, Poland. October 1 (PSN) – Lech Poznan and Legia Warsaw took part in the fourth round of UEFA Europa League qualifiers on Thursday.
Lech Poznan won 2:1 in their away game in Belgium against Royal Charleroi SC and successfully advanced to the group stage.
The Kolejorz were leading in the first half after goals from both midfielder Dani Ramirez and defender Tymoteusz Puchacz. After the break, the Belgians attempted to respond. Their first serious attempt came during a penalty kick, in which Filip Bednarek made a brilliant save to deny the goal. Charleroi afterwards managed to get on the scoreboard with Mamadou Fall, who dribbled into the box and scored in the top corner. Things soon then became rather difficult for Lech, who had to play the last fifteen minutes short handed after captain Lubomir Satka was red carded. However, Dariusz Zuraw’s team held out and managed to keep the win in order to advance to the UEFA Europa League group stage.
