Poland dashed Wales‘ hopes and won a penalty shootout 5-4 to qualify for Euro 2024 as the last country through from the playoff finals on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was the hero as he saved Dan James’ final spot kick to send Poland to their fifth successive European tournament.
After regular play ended 0-0 in a cagey match at the Cardiff City stadium, Wales went into the shootout with 10 men after Chris Mepham was sent off in added time of extra time for a second yellow card.
Poland will be in Group D with France, Netherlands and Austria at the tournament in Germany, which starts in June.
