When Group C’s leaders Saudi Arabia tookthe field against Poland in the second 2022 World Cup Group Stage round, few people had expected much. The Saudis, who shocked Argentina 2-1 in their first match in a spectacular manner, turned their attention to Robert Lewandowski as they sought to become just the second team in tournament history to advance to the next stage.
To do this, they needed to win here and avoid losing in their last game against Mexico, which would have been a formidable challenge. That was easier said than done, however, since their win against Argentina was just their second in 13 World Cup matches, during which they were beaten by a combined score of 34-8.
Meanwhile, a goal from Piotr Zielinski gave the Polish national teama 1-0 leadas they searched for their first victory in Qatar. In the win, there was another reason for celebration as Robert Lewandowski finally brokehis World Cup duck.
