Legia Warsaw welcome Drita to Stadion Wojska Polskiego for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League playoff tie on Thursday (August 22nd). The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 4-1 victory over Radomiak Radom in the Polish Ekstraklasa at the same venue over the weekend.
Blaz Kramer and Bartosz Kapustka scored first-half goals to put them 2-0 up at the break. Capita halved the deficit for the visitors but Marc Gual and Wojciech Urbanski scored to restore the hosts' two-goal lead.
The Militarians will turn their focus to the continent and booked their spot at this stage with a 4-3 aggregate victory over Brondby in the last round of the qualifiers. A 3-2 away win in Denmark was followed up by a 1-1 draw at home.
Drita, meanwhile, needed extra-time to elimininate Auda with a 3-2 aggregate victory. They were trailing by a 1-0 deficit in the tie following their first-leg defeat in Latvia. Besnik Krasniqi's 75th-minute penalty helped his side force extra-time where goals from Rron Broja and Albert Dabiqad helped Intelektualë complete a 3-2 comeback victory.
The winner of this tie advances to the Conference League league phase while the losers drop out of Europe.
