Poland edge out Saudi Arabia with a precious 2-0 win at the to enhance their chances of qualifying to the knockout stage.
The Green Falcons started the game as the dominant side especially in terms of possession, having gone in front with 66% after just fine minutes from kickoff.
The Red and Whites however, weren't that much concerned with keeping the ball, but are always purposeful in search for nothing but a goal.
Saudi Arabia came so close to finding the net on the 13th minute but Mohammed Kanno had his strong hit tipped off the crossbar by Wojciech Szczesny for a wasted corner kick.
The Polish with a dangerous incursion on the 27th minute, Zielinski launched in a decent cross but was checked by the Saudi defence.
Poland finally snatched the lead on the 39th minute. Napoli's Piotr Zielinski struck from a close range thanks an assist from Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski was played through with a decent ball just a minute later by Matty Cash, sent in a ground cross but had no connection at far post and went wasted.
Saudi Arabia were awarded a penalty in the dying embers of the first half. Al Dawsari stepped but his effort by Wojciech Szczesny- who followed up with another great stop to deny Al Burayk. Huge double stops from the Juventus goalie.
In the second half, another explosive Saudi Arabia start nearly got them the leveller thanks to a blunder by Bereszynski, but Salem Al Dawsari's effort was saved once again by Szczesny.
Just like the usual Poland throughout half time, they are always focused on a break in search for the second to seal the win.
Przemyslaw Frankowski picked up Arkadiusz Milik in the box with a pinpoint cross but his header went off the crossbar. Just unlucky!
On the 66th minute, a great scoring opportunity fell on the path of Robert Lewandowski to extend their lead but could only hits the post. That was very easy to score than to miss!
Hervey Renard's men with a quick response just three minutes after but again, Al Dawsari's strike went straight at the throat of Szczesny.
And Robert Lewandowski finally scored to double the Eagle's lead on the 82nd minute after pressing up Al Malki for the ball, his very first goal at the World Cup.
It ended 3-2 for Poland after full time, who have now jumped to the top of Group C and have brighten their chances of making it to the second round.
In the same group, Argentina will face Mexico in a 'make or break' tie tonight at the Lusail Stadium.
