The options limited to add of to three and expect that, against Moldavia, the Czech Republic did not win. Albania has his ticket ensured, but is in the research of the first and place and, also, of a companion to the draw of the phase of groups. Poland remains with 11 points, by the 12 that have the ones of Jaroslav Šilhavý.
Party with a lot of dispute in Warsaw
The true is that, in this party in specific in Warsaw, the venues jumped with impetus and a very competitive alignment with Lewandowski like big leader and offensive reference, although it has not been very hit neither 'battery' to impose in the area of Stanek. After a first very moved part, with occasions delivered and without clear command, Piotrowski appeared as 'hero' for the Poles and cost of a bad refuse of a rival to hunt the balloon and command it to the deepest of the network to the 38 minutes.
The tranquility reigned in Warsaw, but did not last a lot. And it is that the big 'hit' arrived in the beginning of the second part, when Tomás Soucek finished with his right leg, after a direct fault, that supposed the tie for the visitors. Poland did not surrender and looked for the goal, first conun finish of Adam Buksa and afterwards with another of Lewandowski that left brushing the crossbar. At all it seemed sufficient. The chechos answered with double occasion, with finish of Soucek and Zima.
Lewandowski, without luck with Poland
The forward of the FC Barcelona, that has not finished to assume the chevrons that so much asked him his selection, had a new opportunity after receiving a pass in depth of Zalewski, but the '9' was in position advanced and the played finish descartándose. In front of the order of the ones of Šilhavý and the little effectiveness of the venues, the party went in in no man's land, in spite of the attempts from direct fault of 'Lewy', direct to the gloves of the guardameta, or a corner without danger.
The group And, to fault of a day in which it no longer will be Poland, leaves after this date to Albania of leader, with 14 units, gone on down Czech Republic (12), Poland (11), Moldavia (10) and Islands Feroe (1), The second place will decide the Monday, with the two selections with opportunities in the party that will contest in Czech territory.
