WATCH: Lewandowski scores first ever World Cup goal
The striker netted against Saudi Arabia
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski scored his first ever World Cup goal in a 2-0 win for Poland over Saudi Arabia on Saturday.
Lewandowski, who missed a penalty last time out, struck on 82 minutes to seal victory for Poland and give his team a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.
The Barcelona striker made the most of a poor touch by Abdulelah Al Malki to steal the ball and then place a composed finish past goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais.
You can see from his celebration just how much it meant to him.
Look what it means

The result means it’s wide open in Group C for a place in the knockout stages. Poland haven’t qualified for the last 16 since 1986 but have a chance now.
Lewandowski’s team go on to play Argentina in their final game and need just a point to qualify, while Saudi Arabia will take on Mexico. Argentina and Mexico face off later tonight.
