Rafał Augustyniak struck first for Legia Warsaw in the 83rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Radomiak Radom couldn’t muster any offence and Legia Warsaw ran away with the shutout win. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Legia Warsaw should be reasonably happy with their performance.
