Ahmed Ghanem was late for training during the week, and when he came on during Friday's game showed good signs but as a whole didn't impress in his club's draw.

On Friday Legia played their 7th league game of the season. The away trip to Szczecin was only partially successful as Legia tied with Pogon 2-2.

Very harsh weather conditions in Szczecin made it difficult to play quick and entertaining football, and as a result long balls were the dominant tactics from the very beginning of the game. Legia managed to hold the ball better though and having slightly better possession they were the more dangerous team in the first half.

It paid off in the 45th minute. Surma's free kick was intercepted by Magdon, but unfortunately for Pogon he headed the ball into his own goal. 1-0 to Legia! Things got worse for Pogon in the second half.

Legia started with great confidence and in the 54th minute Szalachowski headed Karwan's cross into the goal. 2-0 to the visitors! At that moment, Legia coach Wdowczyk decided to make a double change.

Chmiest and Karwan left the pitch, Ghanem and Poledica entered it. A few minutes later Ghanem had a very good chance to make it 3-0, but hesitated and Pogon defenders blocked his shot.

Legia seemed to have lost concentration. Individual errors led first to Uruguayan striker Milar making it 1-2. A couple of minutes later poor marking in the box allowed Przemyslaw Kazmierczak of Pogon to equalise. It was a fantastic volley; the ball was blasted into the top left corner.

In the final minutes of the match both teams tried to score the winning goal, but Tralka's and Kielbowicz's attempts missed goals by inches.

Ghanem Summary:

Ghanem was very misfortunate to enter the pitch at the wrong moment. The whole Legia team played much worse from the 60th minute and Ghanem showed nothing special too. He played as a right midfielder again, but despite the fact that he was able to appear in the right time and place at times, his attacking moves lacked efficiency. His problem was that he waited for too long to pass the ball to one of his team-mates while his attempts to dribble past Pogon defenders weren't successful at all. He also had some marking problems in defence.

It wasn't Ghanem's best game and fans fear it may take a while before he gets another chance - especially that Wdowczyk has an eye on him since he was late for training on a weekday and got fined. Supporters hope these thoughts will turn out to be wrong though. Legia's next game is derby match against Polonia Warsaw and it would be great to see Ghanem scoring against Polonia
