Legia Warsaw opened the historic 100th season of the PKO BP Ekstraklasa in dramatic fashion, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Pogoń Szczecin at Stadion Miejski im. Floriana Krygiera thanks to a late goal.

According to match reports, the contest was an intense affair that saw Legia dominate possession and create numerous opportunities, including two disallowed goals for Mileta Rajović in the first and second halves.

Based on the flow of the match, Pogoń Szczecin defended resiliently and squandered several scoring chances through Musa Juwara and Jean-Pierre Nsame, ultimately leaving the door open for a late onslaught from the visitors.

The decisive moment arrived in the 90+6th minute when Croatian defender Zoran Arsenić capitalized on a defensive scramble inside the penalty area to poke the ball across the line and seal all three points for Legia Warsaw.
