Skriniar strike earns surprise win for Slovakia over ten-man Poland

Milan Skriniar struck a superb winner as Slovakia stunned Poland 2-1 in their Euro 2020 opener in St Petersburg.

The Inter Milan defender netted after 69 minutes soon after Poland midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak had been sent off for a second bookable offence in a tight Group E contest.

Prior to that dismissal, Poland had been in the ascendancy after Karol Linetty cancelled out a first-half Slovakia strike that was credited as a Wojciech Szczesny own goal.
