Legia Warszawa and Jagiellonia Białystok win the Conference League. This will affect the UEFA ranking
The capital team went to Serbia to play against TSC Backa Topola and won 3-0 after goals by Bartosz Kapustka, Luquinhas and Kacper Chodyna. The team from Białystok played against Moldovan Petrocub and won 2-0 after a double by Afimico Pululu. This translated into Poland’s situation in the UEFA national ranking.
Two triumphs mean that the achievements increase by 1 point (0.5 points for a victory), which is not enough to advance from 18th place. But it managed to catch up with its rivals, including Israel, which has only one representative in Europe – the defeat of Maccabi Tel Aviv against Real Sociedad meant a drop from 13th to 17th position in the ranking. It was overtaken by Greece, Denmark, Switzerland and Scotland – Poland reduced the gap to all these countries except the Scots (they also scored 1 point this week).
Poland also managed to escape 19. Croats (0.5 points for the win of Dinamo Zagreb), 20. Serbs (no points after the defeats of Backka Topol and Red Star) and 21. Ukrainians (0 points after the defeats of Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk).
