Legia Warsaw secured their first league victory since September last year, defeating Wisła Płock 2:1 at their home stadium. The win in the 22nd round of the PKO Ekstraklasa allowed the team led by Marek Papszun to escape the relegation zone. Simultaneously, media reports indicate a record-breaking intra-league transfer of the capital club's defender, Steve Kapuadi, to Widzew Łódź, which has caused a major stir among fans of both prestigious clubs.

The capital club won its first match since September 28, 2025, defeating Wisła Płock 2:1 and leaving the relegation zone.

Record Transfer of Kapuadi

Power Failure in Pruszków

A I liga match between Znicz and Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki was interrupted due to a sudden failure of the floodlights.

Saturday's match at Łazienkowska Street was a turning point for Warsaw's Legia, which ended the longest winless streak in its history of twelve matches without a victory in the top division. The match result was opened by the debutant Rafał Adamski, capitalizing on an error by the visiting goalkeeper. Although Wisła Płock managed to equalize with a goal by Nowak, the decisive blow was delivered by substitute Kacper Chodyna. This success has a historical dimension, as it is the first victory under coach Marek Papszun, who took over the team in winter with the mission of saving the club from relegation. Thanks to the three points, Legia advanced to 15th place in the table, pushing their eternal rival, Widzew Łódź, into the relegation zone. Parallel to the on-field events, the Polish football community is buzzing with reports of a sensational transfer. Legia defender Steve Kapuadi is close to a move to Widzew Łódź. According to unofficial information, the parties are close to an agreement, and the transfer fee could set a new financial record in the history of transfers between Ekstraklasa clubs. This move is interpreted as part of a broad transfer offensive by the Łódź club, which previously brought in Osman Bukari for a record €5 million. The rivalry between Legia Warsaw and Widzew Łódź, known as the "Polish Classic," peaked in the 1990s when both clubs fought for domestic supremacy and successfully represented Poland in the Champions League.„Jestem szczęśliwy, że przełamaliśmy tę fatalną passę i wygraliśmy. Nie był to dla nas łatwy mecz.” (I am happy that we broke this terrible streak and won. It was not an easy match for us.) — Marek Papszun Outside Warsaw, other pitches also provided excitement. Pogoń Szczecin won an away clash with Górnik Zabrze 1:0 thanks to a penalty awarded in stoppage time, which dashed the Zabrze side's chance to take the top spot. In Grodzisk Mazowiecki, a bizarre situation occurred during a I liga match, where a lighting failure forced the referee to halt the game in pitch darkness.
