- 90'+7'Poland pick up three points to put themselves in pole position to progress to the Round of 16 ahead of the final game of the group phase. Saudi Arabia played well but goals from Zielinski and Lewandowski made the difference, ultimately, as did Al Dawsari's failure to convert his penalty. A competent performance from them.
- 90'+7'Thank you for joining the live text commentary for this match. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+7'Poland only need a point from their final game of the group phase against Argentina to qualify for the Round of 16. That will take place on Wednesday. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, will take on Mexico that same day. What they need to qualify for the Round of 16 is dependent on the result of Argentina v Mexico later today.
