As the goal kick was taken, the Polish team began to push forward, trying to create some scoring opportunities of their own. The Spanish team, however, was not about to let their guard down. They defended resolutely, with Mateo Garcia, the Spanish goalkeeper, standing tall and confident at the edge of the box.
The Polish team's midfielder, Tomasz Kędzierski, tried to create some space for himself, but he was quickly closed down by the Spanish defenders. The ball was won back by the Spanish team, and they quickly launched a counter-attack.
Leonardo Marin, the Spanish left-winger, sprinted down the left wing, his feet moving quickly as he tried to beat his marker. The Polish right-back, Michał Szymański, was hot on his heels, but Marin was too quick. He beat Szymański with a clever move, and then delivered a pinpoint accurate cross into the box.
