The Belgians hit the stick in the fifth minute and indicated that they intended to correct the five-day-old failure. After half an hour of play, however, Polish gunner Lewandowski proved his form with a 76th goal in the national jersey. Still until the break, Witsel equalized and the second team in the second half was hit by helpless guests in the second half. Two of them were scored by alternating Trossard.

“It was a fantastic evening. After the last match we had to react, we created a lot of chances and scored a lot of goals. But I can’t explain why we showed two completely different performances in a few days,” Trossard said.

Robert Martínez’s charges prepared the most difficult defeat for the Poles since 1965. At the same time, they reached the second place in the group.

Until the set time, the only successful scorer in Cardiff was Koopmeiners, a midfielder who took the Dutch into the lead in the 50th minute. In the wild, he first leveled Norrington-Davies after the center, but the joy of Wales was soon frozen by a goal from Weghorst.

The Dutch team succeeded for the second time, although today it lacked Captain Van Dijk. Liverpool defender Louis was given off leave by coach Louise van Gaal.

In Group B, Ukraine, plagued by war and failed to qualify for the World Cup, won. In Dublin, it was decided by Cygankov, who came to the second half and immediately prevailed.
