Robert Lewandowski in unique company. The card gave the Danes a promotion
Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal at Euro 2024 against France. It turned out to be significant. As was the card for a member of the Slovenian team. See the latest “Euro Report”.
The Polish national team has already finished its competition at Euro 2024. The 1-1 draw with France was a positive surprise, but it did not change anything in the overall reception of the Probierz team’s performance at the tournament in Germany. For the White and Reds, the sports adventure ended after the second match. The third one was a match for honor and trust. The coach still has the latter – not only from president Cezary Kulesza, but also from the fans.
Robert Lewandowski in one group with Ronaldo and Modrić
Robert Lewandowski did not play in the first match due to an injury he sustained in a friendly match before the tournament. In the match against Austria, he appeared on the pitch in the 60th minute, but did not change the team’s game. He started the match against France from the very beginning. In the second half, he equalized the score, converting a penalty kick. Ultimately, this resulted in a draw, which was positively received by the fans. After all, the vice-champions of the world were running on the other side.
The captain of the Polish team probably did not know that the penalty goal scored among a small group of players. As Wojciech Papuga announced on Twitter, the Pole became the third player in the history of the European Championship to score a goal at the fourth European Championship. Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo can also boast of a similar feat.
The card decided about promotion from the Euro 2024 group
A lot could have happened in Group C. Although the top four had a great favorite in the form of the English, they did not play as the fans expected. However, the achievement of five points gave them first place. The second place was taken by the Danes and the third by the Slovenians. Both teams finished the group stage with the same number of points, goals scored and conceded.
According to the entry of the AbsurdDB profile on Twitter, the factor that gave the Danes second place at the expense of Slovenia was a card for Milivoje Novakovic, a member of the Slovenian staff. UEFA did not initially inform about it, which sparked theories that Denmark’s advancement was due to an additional goal scored in the EURO qualifiers.
The Dutch surprised everyone again
The Dutch unexpectedly lost points in the match with Austria. As a result, they took third place in the “Polish” group and must wait for the results in other matches. Ralf Rangnick’s team surprised the Orange, who could count on fantastic support from their fans.
Already before the match, you could see happy “Oranje” fans on social media. They got us used to this from the first days of the Euro. In Berlin, they danced happily to club music again. Even orange flares were set in motion.
