Good defending from Behrami to tackle Blaszczykowski and concede a corner. The set piece is whipped in, Krychowiak has a free header but puts it over, what a chance!

The game has become very scrappy indeed, Poland have lost the intensity and tempo they had at the start.

Mehmedi's cross is blocked on the left wing and its a corner. The set piece is a good one and Dzemaili gets his head to the ball but his effort goes over.
21'
Dzemaili is fouled and the Swiss have a free-kick in a decent position midway through the half. For some reason Rodriguez, opts to shoot and his effort goes straight into the wall, what a waste.
19'
Surprisingly, the officials have deemed that sot took a deflection and have awarded another corner. Blaszczykowski's set piece falls to Milik who snatches at his effort and the ball trickles wide.
18'
Blaszczykowski's cross is blocked for a corner. The Poles play it short, its laid off to Milik whose drive from the edge of the box flies over.

This was the same stadium that Michael Owen scored that wonder goal against Argentina in France 98.

As expected, this is a tight affair between two teams with mean defences.
