According to The Guardian Football, Lech won the first leg 1-0 in Poznan after a late goal from Ivorian striker Yannick Agnero. However, their chances of making it to the Faroe Islands on time are slim. The team's head coach, Niels Frederiksen, has been trying to find a solution, but it seems like they are running out of options.
Lech's players boarded a private charter plane early on Thursday morning, but they were kept in a holding pattern off the west coast of Norway for 40 minutes before diverting to Bergen. The flight was being closely watched by thousands of Lech fans on the Flightradar tracking service.
The Faroe Islands are notorious for difficult weather, and KÍ Klaksvík usually advise visiting teams to arrive two days before the game to factor in potential disruptions. Lech, however, chose a private charter service, Comlux, which may not have the same experience as the Faroese national carrier, Atlantic Airways.
The Europa League second leg between Lech Poznan and KÍ Klaksvík is scheduled for 6.30pm local time on Thursday evening. The outcome of the game is uncertain, but one thing is clear: Lech Poznan need to find a way to reach the Faroe Islands safely if they want to progress in the competition.
