This was the fourth time the Polish national team participated in the Amputee Football World Cup. Previously, it ranked eleventh (2012), fourth (2014) and seventh (2018), respectively. Now it placed thirteenth, the worst in its World Cup starts, although it should be remembered that ten years ago only 12 teams were playing in Russia, and four and eight years ago in Mexico – 20 and 22 respectively.
The Polish team took the lead in the 7th minute when Kapłon scored a goal. It was his fourth goal of the tournament. After the change of sides, the Poles controlled the situation on the pitch, playing calmly. In 44 min, coach Dragosz asked for a time-out. A moment later, after an action between Grygiel and Kapłon, Łastowski scored a goal. It was his fifth goal in this World Cup.
