Lech Poznan Crush FC Thun 7-0 in Europa League Play-Off Rout

Lech Poznan Seal 7-0 Europa League Play-Off Victory

P. Walemark scored twice, while A. Sayyadmanesh, M. Skrzypczak, R. Murawski, D. Hakans and R. Gumny also found the net for the hosts.

Lech Poznan Take Control Early

Lech Poznan took control in the 10th minute when P. Walemark opened the scoring. The advantage doubled ten minutes later as A. Sayyadmanesh finished a move assisted by P. Rodriguez.

Walemark struck again in the 25th minute, with M. Gurgul providing the assist, and Lech Poznan continued to turn their attacking pressure into goals. M. Skrzypczak made it 4-0 in the 31st minute after A. Kozubal’s assist, leaving FC Thun facing a substantial deficit before the interval.

Five-Goal First Half Decides Match

The first half ended with Lech Poznan five goals ahead. R. Murawski completed the scoring in the 45th minute after another assist from P. Rodriguez, giving the hosts a commanding lead at the break.

The margin reflected Lech Poznan’s sharper finishing, although FC Thun held 51% possession compared with the hosts’ 49%. Lech Poznan registered five shots on goal in the opening half overall, while the early goals made the contest effectively one-sided before half-time.

Second-Half Goals Complete the Rout

Any prospect of a response disappeared two minutes after the restart when D. Hakans scored Lech Poznan’s sixth goal, assisted by Sayyadmanesh. The hosts remained clinical in front of goal even without dominating possession.

Lech Poznan completed the scoring in the 79th minute through R. Gumny, who finished after M. Gurgul’s assist. Walemark stood out with two goals, while Rodriguez and Gurgul each supplied two assists and Sayyadmanesh contributed one goal and one assist.

Discipline, Statistics and Standings Impact

The statistics showed an efficient Lech Poznan performance rather than overwhelming territorial control. The hosts had nine shots on goal to FC Thun’s four and five shots off target to the visitors’ three, while both teams recorded two blocked shots and Lech Poznan held a narrow 3-2 corner advantage.

FC Thun committed 14 fouls and received yellow cards for N. Reichmuth in the 50th minute and T. Strannegard in the 70th. Murawski was booked for Lech Poznan in the 87th minute; no red cards were listed, and no standings data was available for either team in the play-off round, though the result extended Lech Poznan’s available winning sequence to three matches and followed FC Thun’s split of one win and one loss.
