Robert Lewandowski scored his first World Cup goal as Poland earned a crucial victory over Saudi Arabia 2-0 this morning.

Lewandowski did not score in the last four World Cups.

The Barcelona striker capitalised on an error by Saudi Arabia midfielder Abdulelah Al Malki before sending a composed finish past onrushing goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais.

Lewandowski, who missed a penalty in Tuesday's goalless draw with Mexico, was visibly emotional after ending a run of four World Cup games without finding the net.

Meanwhile, Poland will meet Argentina in the Group C match on Thursday at 7am.

Group C is still wide open, despite Poland leading with 4 points.
