Alejandro Ariel Cabral was allowed time and space to rifle home from distance in the 17th minute. Couple of minutes later, Artur Jedrzejczyk scored two goals and the newly-installed roof seemed likely to come off the stadium. However, Maraoune Chamakh reduced the arrears immediately with a close-range header and, within 15 minutes of the restart, substitute Emmanuel Eboue had scored twice to bring Arsenal level. In the 63rd minute, the visitors seemed to have completed their comeback when Kieran Gibbs scored with rasping drive into the top corner of the net. However, 15 minutes from time, Jedrzejczyk volleyed Legia back level again. But, even though this was Legia's day, it was Arsenal's game. In the 81st minute, Jay Emmanuel Thomas escaped on the left and fired home from close range. Three minutes later, Samir Nasri finally ended the argument with a free-kick. Maciej Iwanski's injury-time strike made no difference. An 11-goal thriller made for great entertainment but, conceding six goals was hardly the perfect preparation for the new campaign.
