Europa Conference League: Caernarfon hit for six by Legia

Sloppy defending from the Cymru Premier side presented a first opportunity for Gual, who hesitated before he could take a shot and Caernarfon’s defenders recovered and cleared.

However it was Gual who broke the deadlock four minutes later.

Bartosz Kapustka’s corner was headed downwards by Steve Kapuadi into the path of Gual, whose close-range header crept over the line despite the best efforts of full-back Mathew Jones.

McMullan gathered Kramer’s shot but a mistake from the on-loan Fleetwood Town keeper saw Legia double their lead two minutes before half-time.

The 19-year-old attempted to tip Morishita’s cross over the bar but instead pushed the ball into his own net just before the interval.

Legia took just two minutes after the break to score a third – Kramer combining well with Gual who scored his second.

The Spanish striker completed his hat-trick five minutes later when he met Morishita’s low cross to score from close range at the far post.

Kramer then fired a penalty wide but made amends minutes late with a clever turn which deceived Caernarfon’s defenders before coolly slotting past McMullan.

And Legia’s sixth came courtesy of Goncalves’ effort from distance in stoppage time.

The sides meet in the second leg next Thursday, with Caernarfon hopeful the game can go ahead as planned at Bangor’s Nantporth despite safety concerns.
