VIAREGGIO, Italy. Feb 04 — Mloda Legia drew AS Livorno Calcio U-20 to a 1-1 match in their second game in the Viareggio Cup tournament.

This is the first, and a historical match for the Polish team in one of the most important youth football tournaments in the world (U-20).

The Legion had a chance to tilt the tide in their favor, but lacked finishing which cost them an even more historical victory.

"We should have earned the win, and the draw is not a fortunate result for us," commented on the official Legia website, Director of Legia's Football Academy, Jacek Mazurek.

The encounter with AS Livorno Calcio was the Legion's second match in the tournament. Previously, the Poles were thrashed in their first match 3-0 by Juventus FC. On Friday, the next group match will occur as the Mloda Legia takes on Vicenza Calcio U-20.
