Saudi Arabia possibly pulled off the upset of the decade, as they defeated tournament favorites Argentina in their opener. It goes without saying that they are high on confidence, and Poland will find a charged-up squad at their hands. They will have to come up with something special to find the three points.
Despite being the best striker in the world for the past few years, Robert Lewandowski still lacks a goal at the grandest of stages. And this game could possibly be his last realistic chance to do that.
Their next game is against a wounded Argentina, and with that the group stage would come to a close. There is no telling if the 34-year-old striker will get another go. If he needs to rectify this gap in his resume, the time is now.
And it definitely is not going to be easy. Saudi no longer consider themselves as minnows. They believe it is their time. And compounded with the vociferous support of the crowd (Asian teams are obviously the crowd-favorites at the tournament), they could pull off even more upsets.
As things stand, Saudi are at alone at the top of the table with three points. Should they be able to secure a win here as well, they are through to the knockouts – and it simply could be the pinnacle of their careers for these spirited players.

沙特阿拉伯在揭幕战中击败了夺冠热门阿根廷队，这可能是十年来最令人震惊的一场比赛。毫无疑问，他们非常有信心，而波兰将会在他们手中发现一支干劲十足的球队。他们必须想出一些特别的方法来找到这三个点。
尽管在过去的几年里，罗伯特·莱万多夫斯基是世界上最好的前锋，但在最盛大的比赛阶段，他仍然缺少进球。而这场比赛可能是他实现这一目标的最后机会。
他们的下一场比赛是对阵受伤的阿根廷队，小组赛也将就此结束。谁也不知道这位34岁的前锋是否会再次上场。如果他需要弥补简历上的这一空白，现在就是时候了。
这绝对不是一件容易的事。沙特不再认为自己是小人物。他们相信这是他们的时代。再加上观众的热烈支持(亚洲球队显然是本届赛事中最受欢迎的球队)，他们可能会创造更多的冷门。
从目前的情况来看，沙特以3分的成绩高居积分榜榜首。如果他们也能在这里赢得一场胜利，他们就可以晋级淘汰赛了——对于这些精神饱满的球员来说，这可能是他们职业生涯的巅峰。
