In the match against Lithuania, Poland scored the only goal thanks to their main leader, Robert Lewandowski. The Barcelona forward advanced in the scoring rankings with this goal.
Details: The 36-year-old striker scored his 85th goal for the national team in this match, allowing him to surpass the legendary Ferenc Puskás in the ranking of top scorers at the national team level.
Lewandowski shares seventh place with Ali Mabkhout from the UAE and is just one goal behind Romelu Lukaku, who maintained his lead with a goal against Ukraine on Thursday.
In the overall European ranking, Lewandowski and Lukaku are competing for second place. With a massive lead, the first both in Europe and globally is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 135 goals for the Portuguese national team.
Reminder: Previously, Lewandowski stated that he finds the prospect of scoring a hundred goals for the national team enticing.
