Nishino said he passed on instructions to the team to take no risks and collect no yellow cards when he sent Hasebe on. Indeed Japan substitute Makoto Hasebe, who came on with eight minutes remaining, made a 'card' gesture to his team-mates to make it clear they were through as it stood. Southampton defender Jan Bednarek's well-taken volley following Rafal Kurzawa's free-kick won the match for Poland, who were already eliminated.
"I am really not happy about how we played but we wanted to go through to the round of 16 and we have, and that is the only salvation that I get." "That was slightly regrettable but I suppose at that point I didn't have any other plans. "We did not go for victory but we just relied on the other match," said Nishino.
