MATCH FACTS
- 17 per cent of Poland’s games at the World Cup have finished goalless (6/35), the highest percentage of any team to play at least 15 games at the tournament.
- Mexico have failed to score in each of their last three World Cup matches, the first time they have done so since another three-game run between 1966 and 1970.
- Poland have failed to win their opening game at the World Cup in each of their last seven participations, a run that started in 1978 (D4 L3). They have scored just one goal across those seven matches.
- Since full data collection is available for the World Cup (1966), Poland are the first team to fail to convert three consecutive penalties – Kazimierz Deyna vs Argentina in 1978, Maciej Zurawski vs USA in 2002, and Robert Lewandowski vs Mexico this year.
- Since his first appearance at the tournament in 2014, only Belgium’s Thibaut Courtois (39) has made more saves at the World Cup than Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa (37).
