After failing to score against Mexico, Poland needed big performances from their big players. They got them from Lewandowski and Szczesny…
Salem Al-Dawsari penalty kick at the end of the first half, a potential lifeline shortly after Poland had taken the lead somewhat against the run of play. That fundamental difference between the two teams reared its head, with Saudi Arabia chasing the game. Roared on by a vociferous crowd, again they had played well throughout the second half and had created chances, but Poland looked more likely to score when they attacked, with Milik hitting the crossbar and Lewandowski hitting the post within a couple of minutes of each other midway through the half.
Lewandowski’s tearful reaction to scoring spoke volumes for what the World Cup means to people. This was the 635th goal of his professional career, of which 77 have been scored for his national team. But it was his first in the World Cup finals, and that something. For all the fame and baubles that come with a lengthy club career, there remains nothing quite like the World Cup to tug at the heart-strings.
