After a thrilling first match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia, the remaining two matches of the World Cup ended in goalless draws on Tuesday. After Tunisia-Denmark, the match between Mexico and Poland also ended in a draw.
Group ‘C’ match on Tuesday starts at 10 pm Bangladesh time in Doha. From the beginning of the match, Mexico started showing dominance. In the beginning, they attack several times. On the contrary, Poland managed to defend itself and counter-attacked.
Mexico was ahead in all parameters of ball possession, attack, goal creation, shots on goal, and shots on target. But the surest opportunity was Poland. But Guillermo Ochoa showed once again at the World Cup how great a goalkeeper he is. Stopped one of the best strikers of all time – Robert Lewandowski’s spot kick.
There was plenty of attacking and counter-attacking in the game. However, being ahead in possession of the midfield, Mexico attacked more. They could have gone ahead in the fourth minute. Alexis Vega couldn’t keep a shot off Serving Lozano’s cross at the far post. In the 26th minute, the country from the CONCACAF region got another chance. Another Errera cross was barely on target for Vega. Poland survived. Mexico almost took the lead two minutes later. Luis Chavez’s cross could not be controlled by Jesus Guiardo for a while. One of the Poles almost caused danger when clearing. He was lucky as the ball hit Guardo’s feet and went off the post.
Much against the grain of the game, Poland had the opportunity to advance. In the 58th minute, Ochoa was the savior of Mexico by jumping to the left and blocking Robert Lewandowski’s spot kick. Poland’s savior in the 64th minute is Stasny. Edson Alvarez’s cross was headed in by Henry Martin. However, the Juventus goalkeeper was active. The Head failed by jumping.
A great fight ensued with attacks and counter-attacks. But none of the teams could match themselves to the opponent’s defense. Unable to break the frozen defense, he tried to score with a sudden shot. They couldn’t think much of a goalkeeper.
