Finally, Lewandowski Breaks World Cup Duck As Poland Beat Saudi Arabia 2-0

Lewandowski has finally broken the World Cup duck following Poland’s 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Barcelona ace Robert Lewandowski scored the first World Cup goal of his prolific career on Saturday when he netted in Poland’s 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia.

Lewandowski took Poland to a big step toward the last 16 in Qatar when he rolled home in the 82nd minute after being gifted the ball by Abdulelah Al-Malki.

However, it was a battle for Czeslaw Michniewicz’s side, who were leading at that point thanks to Piotr Zielinski’s roofed finish and an incredible double save from Wojciech Szczesny after Salem Al-Dawsari’s penalty late in the first half.

Poland leapfrogged the Saudis into first place in Group C, with Lionel Messi’s Argentina facing Mexico later on tonight.

Egged on by a vocal crowd, Herve Renard’s Saudi team came out with the bit between their teeth, and the Poles frequently struggled to handle their aggressive press.

Mohamed Kanno had the game’s first decent effort on goal, tipped over by Szczesny in the 13th minute.

Lewandowski initially found it hard to get into the game as he was immediately surrounded by a gang of defenders led by Ali Al-Bulayhi, who at one point looked to be heading out of the game after being accidentally studded by the Barca star.
