Some excellent saves from goalkeeper Szaszny also led to Mexico’s attack. With this, both teams each got one point in Group C. Saudi Arabia tops the group after upsetting Argentina in their first group match. Argentina, on the other hand, is in last place.
In the 56th minute Lewandowski was brought down by Hector Moreno inside the Poland area and the referee conceded a penalty with the help of ‘Warri’. Moreno was also booked.
