Slovakia started their first major tournament with a win after shocking an uninspired Poland 2-1 through Milan Skriniar's second-half winner in their Group E curtain-raiser in Saint Petersburg on Monday.

Slovakia looked comfortable in the first half. They opened the scoring in the 18th minute after Robert Mak's solo run and effort dropped off Wojciech Szczesny's near post before bouncing off the goalkeeper's right shoulder into the goal.
