Lewandowski and Poland at risk of early elimination at EURO 2024

The Polish team had Robert Lewandowski return but still lost 1-3 to the Austrian team in the early morning match of June 22 (Vietnam time).

FULL TIME!!! Austria won 3-1 against Poland. Ralf Rangnick and his team have a great chance to compete for the top 2 positions in Group D. Meanwhile, Poland can only hope for 3rd place.

Minute 78: GOAL!!! Marko Arnautovic defeated goalkeeper Szczesny, raising the score to 3-1 for Austria. Minute 77: Szczesny (Poland) fouled Sabitzer and the referee awarded Austria a penalty.

Minute 67: GOAL!!!! Prass assisted Christoph Baumgartner to finish past goalkeeper Szczesny. Minute 60: Trauner - the player who scored the opening goal, left the field due to injury. On the Polish side, Robert Lewandowski entered the field to replace Buksa. At the beginning of the second half, Poland changed their tactics. They pushed higher, not allowing Austria to go too deep into their penalty area. That approach worked. Poland will have a completely new attack in the remaining minutes. Both starting strikers left the field, making way for Swiderski and Lewandowski. Minute 55: Austria controlled the ball more, but there were no really dangerous opportunities in the second half. 00:05: The second half begins. End of the first half!! Poland and Austria drew 1-1 after 45 extremely tense, fast-paced and exciting minutes. 38th minute: Austria should blame themselves for losing momentum after a strong start. They failed to maintain the pressure and left their opponents with plenty of space to attack. Poland had six shots in a short space of time.

Minute 30: GOAL!!! From a corner kick, Poland continuously shot towards the Austrian goal, finally Krzysztof Piatek was there at the right time to put the ball into the net. Minute 27: Zielinski (Poland) boldly shot from 20m away but was blocked by Lienhart. Minute 20: A goal helped solve the problem for Austria. It felt like Poland defended too deep. They knew Austria would press but were a bit subjective, and had to pay the price with a goal conceded when goalkeeper Szczesny had to deal with too many openings in front of him.

Minute 9: GOAL!!! From Mwene's cross, Gernot Trauner headed the ball into the top corner, opening the score for Austria. Minute 7: Austria started very quickly, while Poland was resisting the pressure. Austria's passes clearly showed their intention to score early. 23:00: The match begins! Poland 's starting lineup : Szczesny; Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior; Frankowski, Zielinski, Slisz, Piotrowski, Zalewski; Buksa, Piatek.

Pre-match information Poland's Przemyslaw Frankowski and Austria's Kevin Danso were teammates at Lens, while Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski and Austrian defender Stefan Posch helped Bologna secure a place in the 2024-25 Champions League. But they will now be on opposite sides of a tight Group D race. After losing to the Netherlands in their opening game, Poland are in line for the return of star man Robert Lewandowski. Their captain was sidelined in the previous game through injury. An own goal, meanwhile, cost Austria their 1-0 defeat to France, but Ralf Rangnick's side have been praised for their efforts and have the potential to be the surprise package of the tournament. Although Poland did not take any points from the game against the Netherlands, they were backed by their fans for their brave play. It gave the players confidence. On the other hand, given the difficulty of the final match against France, Poland must take all three points in Berlin. Otherwise, their chances of advancing will be virtually gone. The nature of matches like this is no different from a knockout match. Both teams have a good chance of advancing with a win, while a draw is no different from a loss. In a group with two strong teams, three points against an equal opponent is a must. But Austria will be rated higher after their extremely active preparation for EURO 2024.
