DOHA—Poland’s Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty—and his chance to finally claim a World Cup tournament goal—in a 0–0 draw with Mexico on Tuesday, Nov. 22, that left Saudi Arabia as the early leaders of Group C after their shock win over Argentina.

Mexico played most of the attacking football in Stadium 974 but Poland won their penalty in the 56th minute when Hector Moreno pulled down Lewandowski only for the Polish captain to shoot too close to Guillermo Ochoa, who saved.
