After completing one of the tournament’s greatest ever shocks when they cut Argentina down to size in their opener, the Saudis found Poland a tougher nut to crack

Everything you need to know to be a World Cup fan this year

It was effectively a home match for the Saudis with their raucous fans, who had made the short journey across the border, far outnumbering their Polish counterparts. There were half-chances for both sides before the game sprang to life in the 39th minute when Poland shook themselves from their slumber to take the lead.

The referee had initially waved away Saudi appeals but he was instructed to look at the VAR monitor and pointed to the spot, sparking celebrations from the Saudi players. A better chance was then spurned by Firas Al-Buraikan who wildly slashed his effort wide with only Szczesny to beat.
