On the 14th, a group match of the European Football Championship Group E was held in St. Petersburg, and Poland, led by world footballer Lewandowski, lost 1:2 to Slovakia, and the goal of centre-back Shkrinjaer in the 69th minute sealed slovakia's victory.
In the 18th minute, Mark's small angle shot caused Polish goalkeeper Szczesny Oolong to give Slovakia the lead. Although Linetti pulled back a city for Poland shortly after the start of the second half, midfielder Corricovia was sent off with a red card in the 62nd minute for a foul on his second side, leaving Poland with one less man to play.
Just seven minutes later, Poland suffered another blow when Shkrinjar took advantage of a corner kick to whip up near the penalty spot and Slovakia once again overtook the lead and held the score at 2:1 until the end.
"It's a great pleasure to start this European Championship with a win, it's a tough game and Poland are a very strong team," scoring hero Shkrinjar said after the game.
The centre-back, who played for Inter Milan in Serie A, not only scored the winning goal, but also greatly limited the performance of Poland's number one star Levan on the defensive end. Over the past two years, Levan has been arguably the most fiery striker in European football. In the season that just ended, he scored 41 goals in the Bundesliga, breaking the Bundesliga single-season scoring record. But Lewan, who returned to the national team, was unable to find the same feeling of scoring goals at the club, scoring only 2 goals in 12 international competitions (World Cups or European Championships).
"It's a shame we didn't get a draw, we didn't do a good job defensively," Levine said, "and there are some mistakes that can't be forgiven on a stage like the European Championships." ”
"There are two more games to go. We lost to one of the weakest opponents in the group in theory, so now we're in a dangerous position," Levan said.
This is the fourth consecutive time that Poland has reached the main european championship, and they have reached the quarter-finals in the last tournament, losing to the final champions Portugal in a penalty shootout.
Poland's next group stage opponent will be Spain. The "Matadors" were forced to draw 0-0 by Sweden in another group game on the 14th, which also allowed Slovakia to temporarily accumulate 3 points to rank first in the E group table.
