The game on Saturday night marked the second time Raków Częstochowa have won the national Super Cup title in a curtain-raiser to the new football season in Poland.

The one-off Super Cup match is traditionally held between the winners of the Polish Cup and the Ekstraklasa premier league champions from the previous season.

Raków in early May beat Lech 3-1 in the Polish Cup final.

Meanwhile, Lech were later that month crowned champions of Poland’s top-flight Ekstraklasa football league for the eighth time, with Raków finishing runners-up.
