Poland moved to the top of their Euro 2016 qualifying group after they beat world champions Germany, who lost for the first time in 19 competitive matches.
Poland won 2-0, thanks to a striker Arkadiusz Milik's 51st-minute header that was added to late on by midfielder Sebastian Mila's sweeping finish in the 88th minute.
Poland had never before beaten Germany, who had also not lost in 33 previous qualifiers, a run dating back to 2007. The win moved Poland above Republic of Ireland on goal difference and next host Scotland on Tuesday, The BBC reported.
The leaders have six points, Germany and Scotland have three, with Georgia and Gibraltar each losing both of their opening two qualifiers.
Germany's last qualifying defeat was a 3-0 home defeat by the Czech Republic in October 2007.
