The 1-1 draw was a lucky for Lech. Rudnevs scored the opening goal in 12' and was better team in the first half. Juve kept attacking and finally Iaquinta managed to equalize to 84'. The weather condition were getting worse and worse. It started snowing and soon the pitch was almost completely covered with snow.
Hard time for the goalkeepers especially. They don't run so much like the other players and it's harder for them to keep the warmth.
One of the heores of Lech was the goalkeeper Krzysztof Kotorowski. According to ESPN he made 12 saves (!), including two in the last minutes of the game (he catched the ball going straight into the goal in the literally last second of the match).
During the game I was only worried if he can see the ball, especially near the end of the first half, when it started snowing.
Before the second half started the lines were cleared off the snow and painted pink. They also changed the ball from yellow on bright orange one.
