World Cup: Daily update from day 2 in Qatar

Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty as Poland and Mexico played out a goalless draw in Group C of the World Cup in Qatar.

Mexico dominated the first half but could not break the deadlock at Stadium 974, with Poland’s star striker Lewandowski cutting a frustrated figure.

But the Barcelona forward was handed a golden opportunity in the second half when he was fouled in the box, only to see his penalty saved by Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.

With Saudi Arabia stunning Argentina in the opening game, it leaves Group C wide open ahead of the second round of fixtures. Mexico will play Argentina next while Poland face Saudi Arabia.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

90+2 mins: The corner is headed away by Glik.

Brave defending from the Poland man, who a couple of minutes ago blocked a Lozano cross with his face at point-blank range.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

87 mins: Lozano has looked just as dangerous since moving to the left as he was on the right.

Not his best moment now, though: He tries a cross with the outside of boot, but it’s blocked, then the Mexico man charges into the back of Cash and gives away a free kick.

Zielinski is replaced by Arkadiusz Milik for Poland.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

85 mins: A bit of a role reversal now, as Cash blocks a cross and the ball goes out for a Mexico corner.

The corner is headed out of the Poland box, and the Mexican players work the ball out to their right, where they win a throw-in.

Uriel Antuna replaces Alexis Vega in the meantime.

Mexico 0-0 Poland

82 mins: Cash’s cross from Poland’s right flank is cut out at the source, and the ball goes out for a corner...

The subsequent delivery is headed across goal, then cleared at the back post!

Mexico break and switch play to the left wing, where Jimenez will surge towards the Poland box...

But he’s dispossessed!
