Polish national team drew 1: 1 with Ireland in Dublin. White-red lost a goal in stoppage time. After the first round of Euro 2016 qualifiers for the Poles occupied the position of leader of the group D.
Niedzielne Polish clash with Ireland was extremely important for both teams. White-red in Dublin had to prove that the excellent results achieved in the autumn were not accidental or temporary explosion of form. Any win against Ireland would put a team Nawałki in a very good situation before rewanżowymi matches eliminacyjnymi.
The hosts clash at the Aviva Stadium after the defeat against Scotland in November last year they could not afford to drop points. Polish tight loss to limit the chances of pupils Martin O’Neill to occupy one of the top two places at the finish of elimination.
The Poles and the Irish approach the competition, knowing the results of two other meetings of a group D. There were no surprises: Germany defeated Georgia 2: 0 in Tbilisi, and the Scotland national team routed 6: 1 Gibraltar in their area. Such a settlement meant that our players have to export points from the Irish capital to keep ahead of the group chasing.
From the first minutes of the meeting in Dublin was exactly as predicted, most experts: there was no finesse game, and hard fight for every inch of the pitch. Already the first minutes showed how difficult it will be competition for Robert Lewandowski . Captain was carefully guarded by the John O’Shea , and was with him at times even two defenders host team.
In the early parts of the game a little better impression made Ireland. Martin O’Neill players send their dangerous cross into the box Lukasz Fabianski , and also tried shots from a distance, as in the tenth minute when Wes Hoolahan fierce strike just before the sixteenth line subway .
However, the Poles played very well defensively, and eventually began to occur as the voice of the attack. In the 26th minute thousands of Polish fans, who sat in the stands of the stadium in Dublin, went mad with happiness. Maciej Rybus famously won the ball in the corner of the pitch, dograł to wbiegającego the box Slawomir Peszki and midfielder FC Koeln strong and very precise inside the far post brought white and red to operate!
The Lost goal mobilized hosts. Before the judge Jonas Eriksson has invited players a break, got hot a few times in front of goal Fabian. In the 36th minute free kick scary hit Robbie Brady , but the shot went just over the bar. One minute before the end of regular time clever shot in the penalty box made a Aiden McGeady , and to compensate for missing really very little.
Still, Irish, Poles survived the pressure and break down from the jednobramkowym running.
The beginning of the second part of the game was nervous in the implementation of the Adam Nawałki team. In the 50th minute yellow card for elbow strike Robbie Keane looked Kamil Glik . This means that our staff basic timer runs out in June against Georgia in Warsaw. Two minutes later, Ireland was inches from bringing tie. On the right side of the field as much zacentrował Brady, the ball bounced off the Paul Olkowski and hit the post Lukasz Fabianski. Polish goalkeeper would not be in this situation, nothing to say, fortunately providence watched over the white and red!
As time passed, the attacks were becoming more dangerous team. In the 64th minute after a free kick cross headed the Marc Wilson , but the shot went straight into the hands of a well-set Fabian. Eight minutes later the Polish goalkeeper made a great intervention of another 29-year-old phenomenally parried the ball to the post after hitting his head Keane.
It was not until 84 minutes into the match Nawałka decided on the first shift, in place of the Arkadiusz Milik appeared Sebastian Mila . Moments after entering the pitch midfielder Lechia Gdańsk was deliberately hit in the face by the James McCarthy . Ireland footballer saw it was only a yellow card.
The pressure of hosts had the effect in the first minute of added time. First piąstkowanie scored Fabianski failed, resulting in the projection of corner for the Irish. After the ball from the corner of the field the ball went to the Shane Long , which from a distance of several meters scored. Unfortunately, in stoppage time to snatch the Poles gave himself the victory.
As expected, the ball Aviva Stadium 90 minutes long bones creaked, and the battle has been fought for every inch of the playing field. Polish national team managed to win in these conditions one point. Actually, the entire second half of the Poles had – sometimes desperately – to defend themselves against attacks by the Irish. In the middle of the road to Euro 2016 Poland with the achievements of 11 points occupies the first place in Group D. The following positions followed by Germany and the Scots (ten points). Ireland with eight “eyes” on your account is four.
