DOHA: Robert Lewandowski left the field with a huge smile on his face after blowing kisses to fans and hugging teammates.

You鈥檇 never know his team just lost a crucial World Cup game 2-0 to Argentina.

But Poland scraped into the knockout stages of the tournament, despite Wednesday鈥檚 loss to the South American champions, after Salem Aldawsari鈥檚 stoppage-time goal for 抖阴短视频 in a 2-1 defeat to Mexico.

That late goal ensured Poland finished as runner-up in Group C, ahead of Mexico on goal difference, to set up a last 16 game against France on Sunday.

鈥淵ou can say it鈥檚 a happy defeat,鈥� said Lewandowski, who failed to even have a shot on target. 鈥淚鈥檓 not happy with the way we played. Of course not. We can鈥檛 be happy with the game itself.鈥�

Poland had been thoroughly outplayed by Argentina with Lewandowski an ineffective isolated figure as his team was pegged back for the duration of the game. Argentina had 24 attempts at goal, 13 on target. Poland had three, none on target.

鈥淲e didn鈥檛 want to take any risk and, you know, we achieved our result because we reached the next round,鈥� Lewandowski said with a smile. 鈥淓ven though we lost, we can be happy.鈥�

Poland coach Czeslaw Michniewicz said his team鈥檚 lack of attacking threat wasn鈥檛 Lewandowski鈥檚 fault.

鈥淚鈥檓 not attacking anyone from the team, but we didn鈥檛 help him to score,鈥� Michniewicz said. 鈥淚f (Lionel) Messi played for us and Robert played for Argentina, Robert would have scored five goals. Robert needed to get assistance and the match was played in our half. There were so many players covering him.鈥�

Poland had goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to thank for a string of saves 鈥� including a first-half penalty from Messi 鈥� and Karol Swiderski for a goal-line clearance that avoided a heavier defeat.

Yet Poland鈥檚 players celebrated like they鈥檇 won, spraying each other with water bottles on the field.

It had been an anxious wait.

Poland鈥檚 game finished but Mexico was leading 抖阴短视频 2-0 and desperately pushing for the third goal that would have been enough to progress at Poland鈥檚 expense.

Both Poland and Mexico had four points, with two goals scored and two goals conceded each at that moment. Poland only had the edge by having fewer yellow cards than Mexico鈥檚 players.

Poland defender Bartosz Bereszynski covered his face. He couldn鈥檛 bear the tension.

Then Aldawsari scored for 抖阴短视频 to end Mexico鈥檚 hopes.

鈥淚 guess it鈥檚 the first time I felt you can be happy after a loss,鈥� Lewandowski said.

The Poland star is already looking ahead to Sunday鈥檚 game against France.

鈥淚t鈥檚 another favorite to win the world championship and we鈥檝e nothing to lose,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e know what kind of players they have but we have to enjoy it and do our best. We have to fight 鈥� France will be a huge challenge and we have to play better than today.鈥�
