Qolizadeh at the double as Lech Poznan scores eight in Polish league
Iranian international winger Ali Qolizadeh bagged a brace and provided his teammate with an assist to help Lech Poznan hammer Puszcza Niepolomice 8-1 at home in the Polish top-flight league – the Ekstraklasa – on Saturday.
Qolizadeh put his side in front with a sublime curling strike from inside the box in the third minute and then doubled the scoreline 11 minutes later, dribbling past a couple of defenders before his delicate side-footed effort found the bottom corner.
The winger wizard teed up Mikael Ishak for Lech Poznan’s third of the night in the 16th minute.
Portuguese midfielder Afonso Sousa added a brace in the first half before Ishak completed his double after the break, with Kornel Lisman and Dino Hotic also on the scoresheet, as the emphatic result left Lech Poznan second in the Polish league table with 63 points – two points adrift of Raków Częstochowa with three game remaining.
Saturday’s performance took Qolizadeh’s tally to seven goals and six assists in 30 top-flight appearances this season.
