In Group C of the World Cup Qatar tournament, Poland won 2-0 in the match against Saudi Arabia.
The second match of the 1st round between world No. 26 Poland and No. 51 Saudi Arabia was held at Education City Stadium near Doha from 10:00 pm on the 26th Japan time.
In the early minutes, Saudi Arabia, who had beaten Argentina, one of the favorites to win the match, kept possession of the ball and tried to score goals, but they were unable to score.
On the other hand, in the 39th minute of the first half, Poland's captain Robert Lewandowski, who holds the record for the most goals in the national team's history, started the attack and took the lead.
In addition, in the injury time of the first half, Saudi Arabia were awarded a penalty kick, but the goalkeeper's good save prevented the goal, and Poland took the lead at the half-time.
Furthermore, in the second half, Lewandowski calmly channeled the ball that he stole from an opposing defender who missed a trap, and scored his first World Cup goal for the team.
Poland, who had a draw in their first match, increased their points to 4 with their first win of the tournament.
A win in this match would have allowed Saudi Arabia to advance to the knockout stages for the first time in 28 years, but they did not have a winning streak.
