The Poles dominated the pitch and maintained a 3-5 goal-lead throughout most of the match. In the latter stages they significantly increased their lead when the Belarusians, a higher-ranked team, took the risky strategy of playing with an unguarded goal.
Mateusz Kornecki made a couple of superb saves in crucial moments, while two Wisła Płock players: Michał Daszek and Przemysław Krajewski tore the Belarusian defence apart.
Kielce’s MichaÅ‚ Olejniczak received a lot of praise, whom many experts considered the man of the match.
In another Group D encounter, Germany defeated Austria 34:29 and are now tied with Poland on four points.
Poland will face the Germans on Tuesday in a game for a vital two points in the next phase.
