The national teams of Poland and Mexico drew goalless in their opening matches in the first round of Group C competition at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Poland's captain, Robert Lewandowski, missed a penalty kick for his team in the 54th minute after being fouled in the Mexican penalty area by defender Hector Moreno. The referee awarded a penalty after reviewing with video technology, but the Barcelona striker failed to convert it, shooting to the right of Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa, who skillfully saved it.
With this result, both teams earned their first points in Group C, leaving Saudi Arabia in sole possession of the top spot with 3 points, while Argentina remains at the bottom of the standings.
