A couple of tweets before we end this one.

FULL-TIME! Mexico 0 Poland 0. Robert Lewandowski remains without a World Cup goal as he misses a penalty and a rather scrappy unentertaining game ends in a goalless draw. Would you believe that Saudi Arabia lead Group C after today and Argentina are last!

Grzegorz Krychowiak goes for a glory goal from around 40 yards but blasts it well wide.

Jakub Kaminski with just the second shot on target for Poland but straight at the goalkeeper.

7 minutes of added time.

Poland make a change: Arkadiusz Milik on for Piotr Zielinski.

Raul Jimenez has the chance to cross the ball which would've been a one-on-one with Wojciech Szczesny but he tries to all by himself and overhits it. The chance goes.

Poland substitution: Przemyslaw Frankowski on for Sebastian Szymanski.

Mexico double-substitution: Carlos Rodriguez and Raul Jimenez on for Hector Herrera and Henry Martin.

STAT courtesy of the BBC: Each of Poland's last three World Cup penalties have been saved: Kazimierz Deyna in 1978, Maciej Zurawski in 2002 and Robert Lewandowski in 2022.Article

A glancing header off a long-range shot and Wojciech Szczesny is alert enough to push it away.

PENALTY SAVED! Guillermo Ochoa flings himself to his left and saves Lewandowski’s penalty. What a moment that could well be. Wasn't hit hard or placed high enough and Ochoa is a hero again for his country in a World Cup game.

PENALTY to Poland.

VAR has asked the referee to have a look for a possible penalty to Poland.

It's again Mexico on the attack. First a corner is punched away by Wojciech Szczesny and then Hirving Lozano curls one straight to the keeper's arms.

Second half starts.

HALF-TIME! Mexico 0 Poland 0. Dull game with Mexico looking the livelier of the two with Hirving Lozano on the right. Poland have been poor with Robert Lewandowski not getting any service at all.

2 minutes of added time.

Mexico are knocking on the door as Jorge Sanchez from the right strikes at Wojciech Szczesny but the Polish keeper punches it away.

The match remains extremely scrappy as a contest.

YELLOW CARD to Jorge Sanchez from Mexico for a bad tackle from behind.

Alexis Vega rises high at the far-post but the defender does just about enough to put him off as it goes just wide.

STAT courtesy of the BBC: Kamil Glik is the fifth player to reach 100 caps for Poland after Robert Lewandowski, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Michał Zewłakow and Grzegorz Lato.

Then Poland get away on the right but the left-back gets back to clear the danger.

Hirving Lozano sends in a teasing cross from the right but there's no-one at the far-post to turn it in.

KICK-OFF!

Players are done with their warm-ups and we should have them for the national anthems.

Interesting STAT about Stadium 974 where this game is going to take place: It is constructed from shipping containers and modular steel.

974 is the international dialling code for Qatar, as well as the exact number of shipping containers used in its construction - courtesy the BBC.

The stadium can hold 40,000.

Today's referee is from Australia - Christopher Beath.

Official Poland XI:

Szczesny; Bereszynski, Glik, Kiwior, Cash; Kaminski, Krychowiak, S.Szymanski, Zielinski, Zalewski; Lewandowski.

Official Mexico XI:

Ochoa; Sánchez, Montes, Héctor Moreno, Gallardo; Héctor Herrera, Edson Álvarez, Chávez; Lozano, Henry Martin, Vega

Mexico are seasoned veterans in the competition and will be no pushovers, but Poland head into the game as slight favorites owing to Lewandowski's exploits in front of goal in recent seasons. Will the Barcelona hitman take center stage and produce the goods for his side? Only time will tell.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Group C clash between Mexico and Poland at Stadium 974 in Qatar! We'll bring you all the important updates as Robert Lewandowski and co aim to start their World Cup campaign on a positive note.
