80 mins: It seems every team at Euro 2016 has one young sensation of a forward in their ranks, and Bartosz Kapustka is Poland's. The 19-year-old is introduced in Saint-Denis for the final ten minutes as the ever-industrious Jacob Blaszczykowski makes way.

Too busy practicing penalties, innit.

I've a feeling that not a single German player have practiced delivering crosses into the box. #GERPOL

84 mins: Another free-kick, another chance for Poland to test Germany, another waste. Kamil Grosicki's deliveries into the box have been superb this evening, and perhaps he should have stuck with that wining formula. Instead, the midfielder goes for goal himself, but his whipped strike flies over without troubling Neuer.

88 mins: Another free-kick, another chance for Poland to test Germany, another waste. With Grosicki replaced seconds earlier, Milik takes over set-piece duties but his inswinger into the area is comfortably cleared by the first defender. It sums up the Ajax forward's evening.

90 mins: There will be three minutes of injury time added on in Saint-Denis - and now the Germans are interested.

90+2 mins: Or perhaps not.
