In the final round of Group A of the UEFA Nations League, which ended in the early morning of November 19, Beijing time, the Polish men's football team, ranked 31st in the world, was defeated by the world's 51st ranked Scotland 1-2 at home, ranking at the bottom of the group, and will unfortunately be relegated next season.
Before this game, Poland and Scotland are tied on four points, and Poland beat Scotland 3-2 away in the first leg, with a better record against each other. In the final round of the game, they only need to draw to be able to beat their opponents and successfully relegate.
However, just four minutes into the game, Poland conceded the first goal. Liverpool loan winger Ben Dolph crossed from the right and Premier League powerhouse Villa striker McGinn slotted home to give Scotland the lead. In the 59th minute, Poland equalised with a volley from outside the box by Piontkowski.
However, seeing that Poland was on the verge of relegation, in the third minute of stoppage time, Scotland successfully completed the stunner. John Souttar's cross from the right was met by Liverpool's Scottish captain Robertson with a header.
With Scotland's 2-1 win over Poland, they are also three points ahead of Poland. Poland will be relegated to the UEFA Nations League B next season after being humiliated at the bottom of the group stage.
It is worth noting that the 36-year-old Polish captain Robert Lewandowski missed the final round of the UEFA Nations League due to a back injury, and the in-form Barcelona striker can only watch the team be relegated and will play in the UEFA Nations League B next season.
