Lewandowski saves Poland as Spain’s Morata misses rebound of redemption

At the final whistle, Spain were still trying to work out how they had failed to win again, why this keeps happening to them. Even Alvaro Morata scoring the goal he, and they, had so desperately needed was not enough. By the end of a tense and often wild evening, it was desperate for everyone; it was also a draw, Robert Lewandowski scoring a second half equaliser, Gerard Moreno missing a penalty and Wojciech Szczesny somehow making a late save that leaves this group wide open.

After all that time waiting, after the whistles and criticisms, at last the moment came. Morata scored one; he problem was that he didn’t score two, or three, and he might have done. No one else did either, nerves frayed in this stadium as they discovered that there was no way through.
