Poland reaches quarters

Switzerland 1:1 Poland. (4-5 on pens)

Poland has qualified for their first ever Euro 2016 quarter final after triumphing over Switzerland in a tense penalty shootout after 120 minutes was not able to break a 1:1 scoreline.


Poland took the lead via Jakub Blaszczykowski when he tucked in a cross near the end of the first half. with just 10 minutesto go. After a relatively open second half, Switzerland equalized via an unbelievable bicycle kick from Xherdan Shaqiri with 10 minutes of normal time to go.

The game stayed that way through extra time until penalties where a Granit Xhaka miss separated the teams and confirmed Poland's progression.
