Trapped in his own net

Szczesny enters this list as one of the worst players in this match.

One mistake from the goalkeeper's side is enough to grant the opposition a larger room for victory. And the former Arsenal gloveman foolishly perpetrated an error of the worst quality.

To start off, he was undisturbed in the outing for the most part of the game due to a poor final ball and lack of possession from Senegal. He can't be blamed for the first goal, which was an unfortunate deflection off Thiago Cionek.

When Niang was ahead of the defender and on course to score his side's second, Szczesny flew out of his lines to shut him down, but unwisely, he committed to a silly challenge. Instead, he could have made himself bigger and given the Senegalese forward lesser to aim at.

He was beaten by a good yard and ultimately, his error for the second goal almost ensured Poland's defeat.
