Robert Lewandowski couldn’t hide his delight after finding out POL had reached the FIFAWorldCup last 16
3
That late strike was enough to confirm Poland’s spot in the last 16 following a dramatic night in Group C In a poor performance, Poland left themselves vulnerable to missing out on a spot in the knockout stages due to Mexico’s performance in the group’s other game. Simultaneous to Poland going 2-0 down to Argentina, Mexico put in a dominant display to go 2-0 up against Saudi Arabia in the other group game taking place.That scoreline, combined with Poland’s two-goal deficit to Lionel Messi and co. meant that Lewandowski’s nation and Mexico were level on points and goal difference, meaning their disciplinary record was all that was keeping Poland in second spot.
As the full-time whistle went in the clash with Argentina, Poland waited on confirmation of the score from Mexico against Saudi Arabia, knowing that one more goal for Mexico would have been enough to squeeze into the last 16 at Poland’s expense.
