Kiwior, Pietuszewski can't stop Poland losing to Ukraine | OneFootball

Poland, with FC Porto duo Jakub Kiwior and Oskar Pietuszewski in the starting XI, were beaten 2-0 this Sunday in Wroclaw by Ukraine, who also started with Benfica’s Anatoliy Trubin and Heorhiy Sudakov, in a friendly between two national teams that failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

In a match in which Jan Bednarek, also of FC Porto, remained on the Polish bench, Ukraine sealed the win with goals from Roman Yaremchuk (34'), a striker who represented Benfica without success between 2021 and 2022, and Andriy Yarmolenko (44'), both scored in the first half.

In this run of international fixtures before the World Cup, Poland will still face Nigeria on 3 July, while Ukraine take on Denmark, featuring Alexander Bah (Benfica), Morten Hjulmand (Sporting) and Victor Froholdt (FC Porto), four days later.
