Bednarek rues Poland defeat to Sweden: “It hurts, we’ll return stronger”

Jan Bednarek took to social media this Wednesday to lament Poland’s 3-2 defeat to Sweden in a World Cup qualifying play-off match. The Polish national team thus failed in its aim of securing a place in the final stage.

“It hurts a lot. Thank you for your fantastic support, we will come back stronger, we will learn from this experience and I am convinced that we will still give you many reasons to celebrate,” reads the Instagram post.

The FC Porto centre-back started against the Swedes, as did Kiwior. Oskar Pietuszewski came on in the second half of a match in which Gyokeres played the leading role by scoring the winning goal for the home side.
