The match was on and obviously the local Slask Wrocław were hugely supported by the crowd, something that I hadn't been able to enjoy in a long while, due to all the restrictions.
The game itself was dragging a little after the initial offensive periods and the favourite, Legia (white), was starting to control the game.

The linesman had lifted the offside flag for the briefest of moments but taken it down again when realising his error. The resulting confusion was used by a quick-witted Wrocław player who went through and converted the goal. All the following commotion by the Legia Warsaw players was useless, except maybe for the effect of internalising again the old truth: you play on until the whistle.
