Sebastian Szymanski had cancelled out Benjamin Nygren's early opener, but Yasin Ayari and Gyokeres both struck after the break to make it two wins from two in Group B4.

Piotr Zielinski and Patrik Walemark saw a shot saved at either end within the opening four minutes before Nygren nodded in Victor Lindelof's flick-on from a recycled corner eight minutes in.

Walemark was denied by a smart Marcin Bulka save at the near post shortly after, but Poland kept the pressure on and, after Matty Cash saw a driven shot pushed away by Viktor Johansson, they found an equaliser.

Nicola Zalewski shook off his defender on the left of the area and fizzed a dangerous cross into the six-yard box, with Szymanski sprinting forward to tap in from close range with two minutes of the first half remaining.

Ayari had already seen a curler touched behind in the second half before he got his 63rd-minute goal, this time bending his shot into the bottom-right corner after ghosting past Szymanski.

Gyokeres made sure of the three points nine minutes later, volleying in unmarked at the far post after Walemark's perfectly weighted right-sided cross.
