Both FCB stars score:Lewy out against strong Sanches
What is a bitter disappointment for Robert Lewandowski is a reason to celebrate for Renato Sanches. Poland fell 5-3 on penalties to Portugal in the EURO 2016 quarter-finals on Thursday. After 120 minutes without spectacular highlights the scoreline had been 1-1.
“It hurts. We lost against a team that perhaps had more possession, but not more chances. It's very disappointing,” said Poland captain Lewandowski, visibly sad. “We haven't lost a match in the tournament and now we're out. Our opponents haven't won a match and are through to the semi-finals.”
Poland and the FCB striker made a perfect start in Marseille. Lewy netted after only 100 seconds, handing his side an early lead. His first goal in the tournament was the second-fastest in the history of European championships.
