Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick, becoming the oldest player to achieve such a feat in UEFA Nations League history. The 38-year-old Polish striker led his team to a 6-0 victory over Romania in Warsaw. Lewandowski's goals came in the 24th, 47th and 86th minutes, extending his international goal tally to 92. This performance surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's previous record of scoring the oldest hat-trick in the competition, which Ronaldo set at 34 years and 120 days while playing for Portugal.
Lewandowski's hat-trick also marked his record-extending 170th appearance for Poland. Despite his historic performance, Lewandowski will miss Poland's next Nations League fixture against Bosnia and Herzegovina after receiving a second yellow card.
