[골닷컴] Correspondent Park Moon-soo = Lewandowski started the goal and the Polish national team won against Saudi Arabia and lit the go-ahead to advance to the round of 16.

On the afternoon of the 26th (Korean time) in the ‘2022 Qatar World Cup Group C Round 2’ match against Saudi Arabia played at the ‘Education City Stadium’ in Doha, Qatar, Poland lost 2-0 thanks to the performance by Lewandowski with one goal and one assist

Saudi Arabia’s formation was 4-1-4-1. It’s a similar tactic to Argentina. With Al Shehri at the front, Al Dosari and Albrikan at the sides. Kanno and Al-Nazey played in midfield and Al Malki played in defensive midfield. In the back, Abdulhamid, Al Amri, Al Buleich and Al Buryq and Al Owais wore goalkeeper gloves.

Against this, Poland fielded a 4-4-1-1. When Lewandofowski became one of the best players, Milik supported him. Zielinski, Frankowski, Kryhoviak and Bielik were in midfield, while Cathy and Glick, Kibo and Beresinski were in the back. Szczesny wore the penultimate goalkeeper’s gloves.

As in the previous match against Argentina, eight of Saudi Arabia’s top 11 came from Al Hilal. The overall flow was different. Saudi Arabia took the lead in the attack as a whole, not in the counter attack after the player’s defence. Rather, they knocked the Polish rear as they brought up the lines. Poland continued their attack centered on Lewandowski and Zielinski, but could not threaten their opponent much.

Then, in the 40th minute of the first half, Poland opened the scoring. Lewandowski gave the ball away in front of goal, and Zielinski connected with a right-footed shot, shaking up Saudi’s goal.

In the 45th minute a good opportunity arrives for Saudi Arabia. In the process of breaking through the goal, a penalty was declared. It was a valuable penalty kick obtained after a VAR review. Al Dosari came forward as a footballer, but was blocked by goalkeeper Szczesny. Even in the second ball situation, Szczesny saved Poland from the crisis by blocking another Saudi shot.

The early stages of the second half were similar. The Saudis led the attack, shaking up the Polish rear. 10′ into the second half, Saudi Arabia had another good chance. A series of shots followed in the confusion in front of the goal, but goalkeeper Szczezny saved. Al Dosari’s shot was also useless after hitting the opposing defense in front of Szczesny.

After that, the situation was similar. Saudi Arabia led the attack and aimed for the Polish goal, but it was rarely a zero. There were plenty of shooting opportunities, but it was a flaw not being able to save them properly.

The Polish counterattack was also fierce. In the 18th minute of the second half Milik connects a cross from the left with a diving header, which however hits the post and goes out. In the 20th minute of the second half, Lewandowski had a chance, but the goal was missed.

23′ into the second half, Saudi Arabia had a good chance. In a set piece situation, Al Abid came out as a kicker and tried to shoot, but the opponent’s defensive wall blocked him. In the 34th minute of the second half, Al Malki attempted a left-footed shot, but narrowly missed the goal.

While the Saudis struggled to finish, Poland had a better chance. The main character was Lewandowski. In the 37th minute of the second half, Lewandowski finally made his first World Cup goal. Taking advantage of Saudi Arabia’s mistake, Lewandowski steals the ball from his opponent and ends with his left foot in a one-on-one match with the goalkeeper for 2-0.

The game ended in a 2-0 victory for Poland. Saudi Arabia, elated by their victory over Argentina, swallowed the regret of not finishing a goal despite their good performance. Rather, Poland, who sat down, took 3 points by shaking Saudi Arabia with a counter-attack strategy after the players’ defense.
