Legia Warszawa struck in the 93rd minute to beat Lechia Gdańsk 2:1 on 17 May, a result that left the home side still trapped in a fight for survival and gave the visitors a crucial boost in their push for European qualification places. Jean-Pierre Nsame opened the scoring in the 11th minute, and Lechia had to wait until after the hour mark to find a reply.

Nsame finished with a header after a cross from Kacper Chodyna, giving Legia an early lead that forced Lechia to chase the match. Jan Leszczyński hit the post in the 31st minute, and Bujar Pllana went close soon after the 56th minute, before Tomas Bobcek equalized for Lechia after a cross from Camilo Mena. The equalizer lifted the home crowd, but it did not last. Legia found the winner deep in stoppage time and walked away with three points.

The result mattered because Lechia entered the match 16th after 32 league rounds and was trailing the safe zone by one point. Every dropped point narrowed the margin for error in their battle to stay in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, and this was exactly the kind of match they could not afford to lose at home. Legia, by contrast, had already moved clear of relegation concerns and remained in contention for European qualification places, which gave the visitors a different kind of pressure and a different kind of reward on the night.

The tension in the match came from the split between what Lechia needed and what Legia could still pursue. Lechia fought for survival, Legia for a place higher up the table, and the contest reflected that imbalance. The home side created enough chances to keep the game alive, but the final word belonged to Legia, whose late strike turned a draw into a defeat for Lechia at the worst possible moment. For Lechia, the table still reads as a warning. For Legia, the win keeps the chase alive.
