France vs Poland Live Score, Round of 16: Only goal the only difference

 

45 Minutes

 

The first half has been full of efforts by the Polish team which obviously doesn’t have the same talent as France. Goalkeeper Szczesny has been brilliant apart from that one mistake which led to the goal. It actually wasn’t his mistake, to be honest. It was the defence that was found lacking and Giroud made good use of it, getting the only goal that has been scored so far 

 

FRA 1-0 POL

France vs Poland Live Score, Round of 16: Robert Lewandowski the only hope in attack for Poland

 

Piotr Zielinski and Jakub Kaminski are no doubt there to support, but it is always going to be the main man Robert Lewandowski who can and will cause damage to the French. He has already scored his first World Cup goal and is definitely hungry for more

France vs Poland Live Score, Round of 16: French attack vs Polish defence

 

It is going to be all about the defence of the Polish unit which has done considerably well in the tournament and how they shape up against the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Ousman Dembele, Olivia Giroud, Antoine Griezmann and Rabiot. The main man for the Polish side in defence would be the goalkeeper himself, Wojciech Szczęsny alongside the old warhorses Bartosz Bereszynski and Glik.

France vs Poland Live Score, Round of 16: French are the favourites

 

After expected results in the first two Round of 16 games where Netherlands beat USA 3-1 and Argentina, even after sweating it out in the last 15 minutes, managed to get past Australia, 2-1, it is now time for France to get into the action against Poland, who are not of the same level as them. Therefore the French, who are also the defending champions, would be expected to win this game.
