WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland striker Karol Swiderski's goal before the break secured a 1-0 win over Albania to earn their first Group E points of the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Monday.
Poland, who suffered a 3-1 defeat by Czech Republic in their opening game on Friday, sealed the victory in the 41st minute through Swiderski who curled a low shot into the net on the rebound after Jakub Kaminski hit the post following a free kick.
The Poland striker had another opportunity in the 84th but his strike flew narrowly over the bar from distance. "In our minds there is only qualifying, so this victory today was our task to complete and luckily we did it because we took a step forward," Swiderski told Polish broadcaster TVP Sport.
