England had to face their first draw even after a stunning goal from the Tottenham Hotspur striker and of course the England men’s football team captain Harry Kane. The first half saw no goals from either side but was ended with a couple of yellow cards which was received by Manchester United’s club captain Harry Maguire and Polish defender Glik for colliding with each other purposely. As soon as the second half started, the England team was looking for a breakthrough which they got in the 72nd minute when Harry Kane struck the ball from outside the penalty box and the ball went into the back of the net beating Juventus goal-keeper Szczesny. But it wasn’t the last goal of the game. When the fourth official showed the board written 4 additional minutes on that, the Polish team made a magnificent attack and found a late goal to equalize the score in the 90+2 minute. The beautiful cross by star striker Lewandowski and a superb header by Damian Szymanski secures 1 point for the home side.
