The Cup final opposed Lech (Poznan) and Pogon (Szczecin). Neither team had a strong season, but no matter – a final is a final. Lech managed to win minimally – 1-0.
This may be not a photo of the 1982 Cup winners, but even if it is from a later year, it may work: the rise of Lech started with this victory and the core players remained. Whether the final was exciting game or not became irrelevant right away: Lech just won its 1st ever trophy. A historic moment, indeed. So, who cares were the players great… and most of them were not, but the victory perhaps spurred their ambitions. The strongest period in the history of Lech just started.
