An early goal from Poland's Kamil Grosicki gives leaves Gibraltar a goal down at half time in their first competitive international.

An early goal from Kamil Grosicki has given Poland a 1-0 lead at half time against Gibraltar, who are playing their first competitive match this evening.

Jordan Perez was called into action in the Gibraltar goal early on, but managed to deny Grzegorz Krychowiak's powerful shot from just outside the box.

Poland did take the lead a couple of minutes later though, as Grosicki picked up the ball from a corner clearance before driving it into the back of the net from 25 yards.

Gibraltar started to see more of the ball as they tried to get back on level terms, but Brian Perez launched an effort just high, before Rafael Bado blasted a low effort wide.

Grosicki tried to add a second from a free kick just before the break, but his curling effort failed to clear the wall.
