  • 95'
    FT: Spain 1-1 Poland!! All over in Sevilla and it's a draw which isn't great for either side, to be honest. Alvaro Morata had put Spain ahead, but Robert Lewandowski levelled for Poland early in the second half. Spain got a penalty minutes later after Moder caught Moreno, but Moreno struck the post with his spot kick. Spain were the better side, but once again they lacked that cutting edge in the final third.
  • 94'
    Llorente's ball in isn't turned goalwards by Torres and then Rodri has his name taken for breaking down a counter.

de Polonia en el 54'
  • 54'
    Lewandowski makes it 1-1!! Jozwiak sends in a cross from this near side and Lewandowski heads home at the back stick. Laporte wants a foul and there is contact, but it doesn't look enough for a foul for me.

  • 52'

  • 45'
    HT: Spain 1-0 Poland!! Half-time in Sevilla and Spain deservedly lead thanks to a goal from Alvaro Morata given by VAR after the linesman had flagged for offside. Spain have been the better team and Gerard Moreno could have easily made it 2-0 twice, but Poland are far from out of this. They had a glorious double chance just before the break, but Swiderski and Lewandowski were denied by the post and Unai Simon. Back for more shortly!

  • 43'
    What a double chance for Poland!!! Alba loses the ball in his half, Swiderski shoots, the ball strikes the post and then Lewandowski's effort on the rebound is saved by Simon onto the defender and it goes out for a corner! Spain dodge a bullet there!
  • 41'
    The goal has given Spain a lift and it's obvious that there is no longer that sense of urgency to score.
  • 38'
    Spain are appealing for a penalty as the ball strikes Bednarek's hand from Moreno's header, but the ref says no.
