Germany have won their first Euro 2008 Group B match against Poland. Lukas Podolski scored twice to help his team to a 2-0 victory.

Miroslav Klose found his Bayern Munich teammate Podolski in the penalty area after 20 minutes and the latter only needed to put the ball into the empty net as Boruc had already been played out.

Poland gained some strength in the second half but never managed to put one past Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.

The match was decided in the 72nd minute when bad defense first gave Klose the opportunity to shoot, after which Podolski scored from the rebound.

Thanks to these two goals, Podolski moves into first place in the top scorers classification.
