For most of this match, the story was not simply about who led, but about how quickly the game kept changing its mind. Lech Poznań scored twice early, Widzew Łódź fought back to level it, and then Luis Palma settled the argument in the 90+6th minute to turn a draw into a 3:2 away win in Łódź.
That late strike mattered because it came after a match that had already tested both teams in different ways. Lech had arrived after advancing to the Europa League and looked sharp enough to build a two-goal lead through Antoni Kozubal in the 6th minute and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh in the 22nd. But Widzew, who had not won in two matches before kickoff, answered with Karol Świderski in the 27th minute and then Mariusz Fornalczyk in the 53rd to bring the contest back to life.
VAR, tension and the final swing
The decisive moment came after the match had already entered its most fragile phase. In the 90th minute, a penalty decision for Widzew was changed after VAR intervention, and that sequence helped push the game toward one final twist. When Palma scored in the 90+6th minute, Lech did more than steal three points; they survived the kind of away match that can easily punish any lapse in concentration.
The final score, 3:2, also says something about the balance of the game. Lech were effective enough to score early and late, but not stable enough to close the door once Widzew found momentum. That is the part worth keeping in mind for the 6th round of PKO Ekstraklasa: a team can look like a contender one hour and vulnerable the next.
For Widzew, the comeback showed resilience even if the result was harsh. For Lech, the late winner will feel like the kind of escape that can matter in a tight league race. The rankings conversation after this one should start with Luis Palma, because in a match that kept moving toward a draw, he was the player who changed the ending.
