St Johnstone beat ten-men Hibs as Scottish football enters 'VAR-era'

St Johnstone have come from behind to beat ten-man Hibernian 2-1 at Easter Road as VAR made its debut in the Scottish Premiership. Hibs started the game well and showed their intent by attacking St Johnstone from the off with a series of chances created and Martin Boyle booked for diving. The home side took the lead on the half-hour mark when Ukrainian striker Mykola Kukharevych leaped highest to head the ball the St Johnstone keeper Remi Matthews and make it 1-0. For all their possession the home side still couldn’t find that killer second goal and they grew increasingly frustrated as a result. And St Johnstone equalised soon after when Nicky Clark headed past David Marshall from a corner as the game was turned on its head.

Wojciech Szczesny penalty save helps Poland claim hard-fought Saudi Arabia win

Wojciech Szczesny was Poland’s hero with a crucial penalty save as they kept their hopes of World Cup progress alive with a 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia. Poland led 1-0 through Piotr Zielinski’s goal as half-time approached when the Saudis were awarded the softest of penalties following a VAR check. Krystian Bielik was penalised for the slightest contact on Saleh Al Shehri to the delight of a partisan Saudi crowd. Cash then caught Mohammed Al Burayk with his elbow in an aerial challenge, with the Saudi left-back requiring treatment. Poland, who drew 0-0 with Mexico in their opening match, went close after 25 minutes when Bielik met Zielinski’s corner with a powerful header, but Al Shehri got his head in the way to divert it over the top.
