Legia wins title after nerve-wracking last round
20:16
Legia Warsaw won the Lotto Ekstraklasa football championship after drawing goalless with Lechia Gdańsk. The game itself was not an exciting spectacle, but fans were kept at bay for 10 minutes after the final whistle was blown in Warsaw. Jagiellonia Białystok had 10 extra minutes of the second half to score a winning goal against Lech and overtake Legia.
While both games in Warsaw and Białystok started at the same time, the one in Białystok was suspended for 10 minutes in the second half due to excessive fireworks obscuring the visibility. This gave the home team extra time needed to score the winning goal of the game which would put Jagiellonia atop the league table.
The goal never came, so Legia could start its celebration parade. Jagiellonia drew 2:2 with Lech and finished second. Lech was third.
Legia will play in the qualifying phases of the Champions League, while Lech, Jagiellonia and cup winner Arka Gdynia will play in the Europa League qualifiers.
Relegated from the Lotto Ekstraklasa were Ruch Chorzów and Górnik Łeczna. They will be replaced by Sandecja Nowy Sącz and Górnik Zabrze who won the promotion from the second tier Nice Liga 1.
