  • 18' Robert Mak doubles the advantage! 0-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 20' The referee has no hesitation. Tomas Hubocan is booked for Slovakia — Yellow card on 20.
  • 22' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Grzegorz Krychowiak.
  • 27' Both keepers have barely been tested. Poland and Slovakia are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 32' Milan Skriniar is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Poland tonight.
  • 37' Poland have won 18 goals from 111 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

  • 62' Poland player sees a Red card in front of him.
  • 67' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jan Gregus, as he is very good at scoring at Saint Petersburg Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 69' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Milan Skriniar makes no mistake. 1-2!
  • 74' Poland make a change. Maciej Rybus trudges off to be replaced by Tymoteusz Puchacz on 74 minutes.
  • 79' The Slovakia manager makes a substitution. Jakub Hromada departs to be replaced by Patrik Hrosovsky.
  • 84' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

  • 87' Another substitution for Slovakia to replace Lukas Haraslin by Michal Duris on 87 minute.
