Match Events

15' CHANCE! Frankowski's shot saved

34'GOAL! Portugal 1-0 Poland (Andre Silva)

GOAL! A classic corner move from Portugal. Sanches puts the ball into the near post, Siva runs on to it ahead of his man and it loops into the far-right corner of the goal to make it 1-0.

36' OFF THE BAR! Kedziora almost scores

63'Red Card! Danilo Pereira sent off

Pereira is the last man as he fouls Milik so is shown the red card. Portugal down to 10 men.

66'Penalty Goal! Portugal 1-1 Poland (Milik)

GOAL!!! 1-1! Milik steps up to take the penalty he won and slots the ball past the keeper into the right of the goal. But the referee has seen someone stepping into the box so makes him take it again. He's cool as a cucumber though and puts it exactly where the first one went.

Match Report

Arkadiusz Milik converted a twice-taken penalty as Poland came from behind to draw 1-1 with 10-man Portugal in the Nations League. 

Poland were already relegated from Group 3 but, after Andre Silva scored his second goal in four games to give Portugal a first-half lead, Milik's equaliser ensured Jerzy Brzeczek's side a share of the points and a place in Euro 2020 qualifying draw pot 1 at the expense of Germany. 

Portugal, who clinched a place in the Nations League finals with a goalless draw against Italy on Saturday, put in an improved display but Poland's physical approach to the game helped them muscle their way back into the contest after the break. 

Danilo Pereira felled Milik in the box in the 62nd minute and was shown a red card, with the striker scoring from the spot on two occasions, his initial attempt having been ruled out due to encroachment.
