Poland’s Robert Lewandowski finally gets first World Cup goal | Football News

NEW DELHI: Robert Lewandowski‘s wait of scoring a goal at the World Cup finally came to an end on Saturday when he netted against Saudi Arabia in the Group C match at the Education City Stadium on Saturday.
It was the Poland forward’s first World Cup goal in his fifth appearance at the tournament.

The Barcelona and former Bayern Munich forward capitalised on a costly mistake by Saudi defender Abdulelah Al-Malki, stealing the ball from him and coolly rolling it past goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais to give Poland a 2-0 lead in the 82nd minute.
A beaming Lewandowski ran to his teammates to celebrate finally opening his World Cup account. Lewandowski, 34, had earlier provided the pullback for Piotr Zielinski to open the scoring for Poland.
