GIBRALTAR´S first-ever senior competitive game ended in a 7-0 thumping by Poland in their opening Euro 2016 Group D qualifying match on Sunday night.
Robert Lewandowski scored four, Kamil Grosicki fired in two and Lukas Szukala also got onto the scoresheet in a predictably one-sided match at Estadio Do Algarve.
Gibraltar, UEFA´s newest member and a country with a population of around 30,000, were accepted by the European governing body in May 2013 following a 14-year battle.
They face a tough test to progress from Group D with a team predominantly made up of amateurs, which has been made even more difficult following their opening result, as they have been drawn with World Cup winners Germany, Poland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Georgia.
Poland took the lead in the 10th minute through Grosicki´s low strike to set the tone for the rest of the match.
