Portugal vs Poland UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Portugal’s record in the UEFA European Championship finals is very consistent. It did take a while for A Seleção das Quinas, with their first appearance coming at the seventh attempt, but in each and every edition since 1984, they have never failed to make it through to the knockout stages once they’ve qualified.
They have tasted defeat in three Semi-Finals, 1984 and 2000 losses both came at the hands of France, both by an extra-time goal, with luminaries Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane providing the killer touch in those losses.
2012’s Semi-Final defeat came via penalties, this time to Spain, and as with France, they lost once again to the eventual winners.
2004 saw Portugal go one better and make the final, with the tournament held on home soil, only for Luiz Felipe Scolati’s side to lose to Greece in Lisbon in heartbreaking fashion.
Euro 2016 would prove to offer a route to redemption. This time, they would overcome France, beating them 1-0 through an Eder goal in Paris.
Poland’s record in the UEFA European Championship is not quite so storied. It wasn’t until 2008 that they finally qualified for the finals, and when they did so, they only managed a single point from their three group-stage games.
Four years later, when they made it to the Euro 2012 finals, it was because they were co-hosts, along with Ukraine. Again, failure in the group stage awaited, though this time, they had managed to double their points tally from one to two.
Euro 2016 saw a marked improvement. They secured seven points from their group phase, beating both Ukraine and Northern Ireland and drawing with Germany before beating Switzerland in the Round of 16 via penalties.
In the Quarter-Finals, they would lose to Portugal after a penalty shoot-out but had certainly improved their national team’s reputation in the process.
Euro 2020 saw a return to the tournament and another weak display, managing just one point, although goal machine Robert Lewandowski did manage to fire in three goals in the process.
Portugal vs Poland Head-to-Head
Portugal and Poland have played each other on a number of occasions in UEFA European Championship qualifiers but on just one occasion during a finals tournament.
That came in the Quarter-Finals of Euro 2016. Robert Lewandowski gave Poland the lead after just three minutes in Marseille before Renato Sanches scored for Portugal. The game went to penalties, with Portugal scoring all five of their spot-kicks to progress in the competition.
