KATHMANDU: Spain’s Alvaro Morata’s first-half goal was cancelled out by a Robert Lewandowski strike for Poland in a 1-1 draw ensuring all the four Euro 2020 Group E teams still qualifying.
Morata scored the goal in the 25th minute, pouncing to sweep home Gerard Moreno’s ball into the box and, though the linesman’s flag for offside delayed the celebrations, the goal was awarded following a VAR review.
Lewandowski, meanwhile, equalized with a header in the 54th minute and four minutes later a Moreno penalty came cannoning off the left-hand post, with Morata missing the rebound and several more second-half chances, according to India Today.
With this, Sweden remains at the top of Group E on four points, with Slovakia second with three, Spain third on two and the Poles bottom with one point.
Sweden will now play Poland in their final game on Wednesday. Likewise, Spain will meet Slovakia.
