Legia Warszawa displayed a strong performance in a secret friendly against Israeli Hapoel Beer Sheva, winning 3:1 and giving Łukasz Zjawiński a double after the break. The match took place in Germany, without cameras or media noise, allowing manager Marek Papszun to test new tactical ideas.

How did the match unfold?

In the first half the only goal came from Israeli striker Ganah in the 23rd minute. Legia responded only after the interval – Zjawiński scored in the 59th and 66th minutes, and shortly after, in the 68th, Paweł Wszołek added the third goal. Legia’s starting lineup featured the new Bayern Munich signing, Deziel Junior, alongside veterans like Hindrich and Kapustka.

Who stood out on the pitch?

Łukasz Zjawiński became the match’s star, netting two goals within nine minutes. His display eclipsed Legia’s most expensive player – the Danish international who cost around €3 million. Deziel Junior, freshly arrived from Bayern, got a chance to showcase himself under Papszun, while after the break Mileta Rajović helped maintain control of the game.

What does the result mean for Legia’s preparations?

A 3:1 victory confirms that the new tactical variants work and that young players are ready for Ekstraklasa challenges. Papszun can now focus on sharpening the link between midfield and attack, using Zjawiński’s form as a boost for the upcoming season.

What lineup changes occurred after the break?

After the interval the coach introduced Deziel Junior, Arsenić, Reca, Wszołek, Arreiol, Przybyłko and Kovacik, also reshuffling the forwards by placing Zjawiński as the main striker. These adjustments showed the squad’s flexibility and readiness to react quickly to match situations, a trait that could prove vital in the title race.
