Milik helps Poland to edge Northern Ireland 1-0

Arkadiusz Milik' s goal in the 51st minute helped Poland to edge freshman Northern Ireland 1-0 in the UEFA EURO 2016 Group C here on Sunday.

Poland dominated the match but wasted many times to score under the tight defense of Northern Ireland in the first half.

Lewandowski, Poland' s top star, scored 13 in the Euro 2016 qualifier, was besieged by defenders of Northern Ireland when he touched the ball and had no opportunity to score.

However, his teammate Milik, a forward played for Ajax Amsterdam, held the opportunity to score after collecting Blaszczykowski's pass from the right.

Northern Ireland' s passing completion rate was much too low, and had very few opportunities to score. Endit
