Euros adventure comes to an end for Szczesny

The goalkeeper's European Championship is over after Poland were beaten on penalties by Portugal on Thursday evening

Wojciech Szczesny's European Championship is over after Poland were beaten on penalties by Portugal on Thursday evening.

After the game finished 1-1 after 120 minutes, Jakub Blaszczykowski saw his penalty palmed away by Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio, as Ricardo Quaresma subsequently fired home to secure a 5-4 shootout win for his team.

Szczesny made one appearance for his country, starting the opening victory over Northern Ireland - where he also kept a clean sheet.

However, the 26-year-old suffered a leg injury during that game that ruled him out of Poland's next group stage contest, and he did not return to the starting lineup for the remainder of the competition.
