While the 2022 World Cup continued with all its excitement in Qatar, a flash moment occurred today. Making a successful start to the tournament with Argentina’s victory, Saudi Arabia faced Poland. Even though the European team won the match 2-0, it marked the match for a moment! The Saudi Arabian front is objecting to that position…
While the excitement of the World Cup continued at full speed, the second matches in the groups started. Today, Poland and Saudi Arabia shared their trump cards in Group C. In the first match of the cup, Poland, which faced Mexico, left the field with a goalless equality. Starting with 1 point, the Red-Whites had not yet met with a goal before the fight. (Fanatic)
Saudi Arabia had a successful start to the tournament with Argentina’s victory. The Middle East team, which defeated the Tangoists of Lionel Messi from behind 1-0 and 2-1, came up against Poland for a second surprise.
The biggest star on the field was arguably Robert Lewandowski. The experienced player, who scored goals with Dortmund and Bayern Munich for many years, came to Qatar as a player of Barcelona. All eyes were on the 34-year-old football player who remained silent against Mexico.
The European team scored the first goal in the match. Poland took the lead 1-0 with Piotr Zielinski’s goal in the 39th minute.
In the final moments of the first half, Saudi Arabia won a penalty. Salem Al Dawsari, who came from behind 1-0 and won 2-1 against Argentina and scored the winning goal, took the lead in the white spot. Salem Dawsari hits goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny to the right of the ground. Experienced net keeper managed to get the ball out.
Mohammed Al Burayk wanted to complete the ball returning from the goalkeeper, but the ball went out from the top. Saudi Arabia experienced a great opportunity, while Szcznesy also experienced great joy. His teammates took the breath with the experienced glove after the position. Congratulations to Szcznesy, and the successful goalkeeper was just as happy as he scored a goal after this penalty save.
Robert Lewandowski pulled the plug on the match. The Polish superstar scored the second goal that brought his country 3 points and determined the score of the match: 2-0.
However, after the match, a flashy controversy arose. The Saudi Arabians objected when goalkeeper Szczesny’s foot did not touch the line in the penalty position. The photo taken from this angle was also shared many times on social media.
Note: According to the rule, one foot of the goalkeeper must be on the line during the penalty shoot-out. If it is determined that he is not on the line at that moment and the penalty is missed, the referee gives the decision to repeat the penalty.
