  • Matty Cash leveled with a powerful right-footed shot from the edge of the box in the 80th minute after a stronger Polish second half.
  • Robert Lewandowski returned to Poland’s starting lineup following his June absence but saw little of the ball.
  • The Netherlands travel to Lithuania next, while Poland host Finland as the group picture remains finely balanced.
