In a UEFA Nations League Group A match at the National Stadium Warsaw, Poland hosted Portugal. Portugal aimed to strengthen their position at the top of Group A1 as they faced third-place Poland in this Nations League encounter at the Kazimierz Górski National Stadium.
The Hosts started on a strong note
Poland initiated the game with a strong start, earning a free-kick from a dangerous position in the early minutes. Despite delivering the ball well into the box, it was ultimately cleared.
Playing with a high line, Poland left themselves vulnerable to counterattacks, a decision that almost backfired on them.
