Polish national handball team started the Euro 2012 qualifications well and registered the first victory. Although they did struggle a bit with Ukraine defence in the first half, they almost completely dominated the game in the second. Good defence helped to keep the advantage, and Polish goalkeeper, Sławomir Szmal, made a lot of great saves.
Piotr Wyszomirski substitued Sławomir Szmal near the end of the second half, and played the last 11 minutes. He started from making a great save.
Polish coach, Bogdan Wenda
Karol Bielecki was back to the team. He suffered a severe eye injury during a friendly match against Croatia in June. Despite the surgeries his left eye remained blind. Although he officially announced the end of his career, he changed his mind a few days later and decided to continue playing. Now he uses special goggles.
Unfortunately no photo of the Polish goalies from the game. So, a photo from Euro 2010.
