The Polish keeper does well to get his hand to the ball and make the save. “Poland had to defend a lot in the three games. He crosses inside the box aiming for Giroud but Poland’s Bartosz Bereszyński gets the ball away with a diving header. But Szczesny is alert enough to get down quickly and keep hold of the ball. He sends a left-footed shot but it misses the target. Zielinski’s shot is saved by Lloris and the France keeper makes another save of the rebound. For a second, it seemed like it would creep inside the goal at the far-post but the ball goes out of play. But the ball is cleared by the Polish defence. At first, the box seemed too crowded for a direct shot but Mbappe took his time and lashed the ball at the near-post past a diving Szczesny. Demble passes the ball to Mbappe and the latter makes his way inside the box. Mbappe gets the ball after Dembele finds him with a cutback from the right. France beats Poland 3-1 to qualify for the quarterfinals.
