Ghanem entered the pitch in the 67th minute, replacing forward Marcin Chmiest. New Legia coach, Dariusz Wdowczyk, made a surprising decision to use Ghanem not as a right back but as a right midfielder.

The step proved to be very successful in the end. Ghanem was remarkably active. He made frequent runs on his wing, often making Odra players foul him. Even though he lacked communication with his team-mates at times, there can be no doubt that Ghanem is capable of giving some contribution into the team's play.

Legia won 2-1. An early goal by Wlodarczyk gave them the lead, but the team became disorganised later in the game, especially after Burkina Faso's international Quattara picked up a foot injury. It resulted in the equaliser for Odra in 40th minute.

Legia were the dominant team in the second half, but couldn't find the net until the 90th minute, when Szalachowski's header secured three points for Legia!
