Everyone waited with great hope for the first match of the Poles at this year's World Cup. In the first clash, we were supposed to fight for the victory with the Senegalese team. However, the opponents saved the honor of Africa and was the only team from this continent to win the first round of the group games.

It wasn't that bad for a long time
The Polish national team got us used to a good game. Even in the lost matches with Mexico and Nigeria 1-0 or in the draw with Chile 2-2, the Polish team presented themselves well, although in an experimental line-up and composition. However, the first minutes of the clash with Senegal showed that it will not be easy.
Too conservative
The Poles tried to build a positional attack, while the Senegalese people were clearly focused on taking advantage of our mistakes. They managed to complete this task 100%. The first goal came after Gana's shot, the ball bounced unfortunately from Thiago Cionek and he was credited with an own goal. The second goal was scored after a very sloppy play by Krychowiak to the defense line and as a result of the lack of communication between Bednark and Szczęsny. As a result, Niang intercepted the ball and threw it into an empty goal.
There were not many successful actions by Poles in this meeting. The first accurate shot was fired after Lewandowski's free kick. The most beautiful and coherent action of our team was Grosicki's cross from a free kick in the 86th minute of the match. It resulted in a 2: 1 goal after hitting Krychowiak's head.
Time to wake up
If the Biało-Czerwoni intend to leave the group, the meeting with Colombia must win. We will play with them on June 24th. So far, Group H's paper favorites have lost their first matches. Interestingly, Colombia's defeat with Japan was of the same size as the result of the match against Senegal - 2: 1. We strongly believe that we will break the losing streak of the White-Reds at the World Cup in the XNUMXst. century. If only to win the "match for everything"!
