A lot of firsts in the game, Poland’s first win in EURO and Northern Ireland’s debut in EURO finals.
Poland midfielder and man of the match Grzegorz Krychowiak says this–
“We understood that the first match is very difficult, we were prepared for that. The next matches will show that we can be even better and go further. We can do a lot, but we shouldn’t be overly optimistic having only won the first match. We should take it calmly with a cold-headed approach. We need to run our socks off, but I’m not hiding the fact that we want to win it.”
