Poland
Lukasz Fabianski – 8/10
The former Arsenal shot-stopper put in a display of the highest quality to deny Germany. He was assured while catching the ball and pulled off some brilliant saves, including the full-stretch dive to deny Ozil.
Lukasz Piszczek – 6.5/10
The Borussia Dortmund full-back was able to subdue the threat of Draxler and Hector on the right flank, but failed to offer much offensively.
Kamil Glik – 6.5/10
His loose pass in the first half could have proved costly, but made up for his mistake with a strong showing in the heart of defence.
Michal Pazdan – 7.5/10
The 28-year-old enjoyed an excellent game and was a rock at the back. Pazdan was good in the air and afforded little space to Gotze and company, while being at hand to clear anything that looked threatening.
Artur Jedrzejczyk – 6/10
Was solid defensively and was able to nullify the threat of Muller, but failed to have the same impact going forward.
Jakub Blaszczykowski 6/10
Used his experience to help neutralize the German threat on the right flank, but failed to have an impact in the fina third of the pitch before being replaced by Kaputska.
Grzegorz Krychowiak – 7/10
The Sevilla man dominated midfield, winning a number of loose balls and also stifled Ozil and Kroos from having a telling impact on the game. He also tried to spray the ball forward to find Milik or Lewandowski.
Krzysztof Maczynski – 6.5/10
Shielded the back four by watchful interceptions and incisive tackles, while barely misplacing a pass. Was booked in the first half and thus was withdrawn in the second half.
Kamil Grosicki – 7.5/10
The 28-year-old was Poland’s biggest attacking threat during the game as he put in some teasing crosses from the left flank, and if not for the profligacy of strikers in front of him could have had a couple of assists.
Arkadiusz Milik – 3/10
After his heroics in the first game helped Poland get all the three points, the forward missed a host of chances, which probably cost them the three points. Milik failed to find the back of the net from a few yards out with Neuer almost beaten and followed it up with another mis-kick from 10 yards.
Robert Lewandowski – 5.5/10
The Bayern Munich striker didn’t have the impact he would have hoped for as apart from some fancy touches and clever movement, he could not trouble the German defence. He was denied by Boateng’s crunching tackle.
Substitutes
Tomasz Jodlowiec – 5.5/10
Relaced Maczynski in the 76th minute and ensured that his side didn’t concede in the dying stages.
Bartosz Kapustka – N/A
Replaced Blaszczykowski in the 80th minute but didn’t have much impact on the game.
Slawomir Peszko – N/A
Came on to replace Grosicki in the 87th minute and was booked for a rash challenge on Ozil.
