Arka Gdynia drew against Polish champions Lech Poznań. The yellow-blues were expected to lose against the leader of PKO Ekstraklasa, but they managed to stand up and playing mainly defensively, they managed to snatch one point in Poznań. Dariusz Banasik, the coach of Arka, praises his players for determination and character. It's great to play in front of such an audience, on such a stadium and I didn't have to motivate anyone extra for this match. The whole atmosphere of this match was phenomenal. I'm glad that the players didn't get scared of Lech's quality, a team that is on a roll and fighting for the Polish championship. I have words of appreciation for my players for their determination, character, and will to fight. Before the match, everyone was writing us off and saying we had no right to get anything, but I'm grateful that the players showed character. We're still fighting and doing everything to stay in Ekstraklasa. The yellow-blues slightly improved their terrible away record this season. Currently, it's one win, three draws, and twelve losses. I'm glad because we all know what statistics we have on the road. This is only the fourth match this season where we score points away from home, and it's against the best team in Poland right now. Recently, Legia Warszawa couldn't do anything in Poznań, and we're taking a point. Looking at our situation in the table, this point may be worth gold. Dariusz Banasik summed up the match and said he's satisfied with the result. Arka Gdynia returns home with a point and hope for a better tomorrow. The yellow-blues will have to fight for every point to stay in Ekstraklasa.
