    It feels like a major win for Slovakia, because now, if they can get a result against Sweden they have a real chance of getting out of the group. Full credit to Slovakia, everyone has written them off and what a result they have produced this evening.

    Milan Skriniar's goal was the difference. He has found his goalscoring form at just the right time.

    FT: Poland 1-2 Slovakia

    Slovakia's players are in a huddle dancing on the pitch. A huge result for them as they overcome a side that have one of the best strikers in the world in Robert Lewandowski in their side.

    Poland, despite a good spell early in the second half, just never really got going.

    Poland 1-2 Slovakia

    Robert Lewandowski lays the ball off for Karol Swiderski, who hits a decent effort at goal but Martin Dubravka catches just under his bar.

    That has to be their final chance for an equaliser.

  11. 'Has to hit the target'published at 18:50 British Summer Time 14 June 2021

    I said there would be one big opportunity! It has fallen to Bednarek but the whole of Poland would have been hoping it fell to Lewandoski. But once Bednarek gets it onto his left football he has to hit the target.

    You're thinking, you've got to make more changes Paulo Sousa. They've made two already and they haven't really worked out. Get some more attacking players next to Lewandowski. You might as well lose three or four and go for it instead of losing just 2-1

    Poland 1-2 Slovakia

    It has been a frustrating afternoon for Robert Lewandowski. He's had more shots than any of his team-mates with four but three of those have been blocked and the other was way off target.
