Robert Podolinski, a former coach of the Ekstraklasa clubs and now a commentator on Euro TVP, accused Ukraine midfielder Ruslan Malinowski of deliberately rough play.
- For me, Malinowski's attack on Urbanski before a major tournament was gangsterish. First of all, if you want to prove something to a kid (Urbanski made his debut in this match at the age of 19 - author), take the ball away from him and don't let him wander around like a grilled lamb. But that two-footed attack from the back was a disaster!" journalist Piotr Szląka quoted Podolinski as saying.
