Soccer-Captain Blaszczykowski plays starring role in Poland win

WROCLAW, Poland, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Captain Jakub

Blaszczykowski led Poland from the front on Tuesday, scoring one

goal and setting up the other as his side breezed past Moldova

2-0 in World Cup Group H qualifying.

Blaszczykowski put the home team ahead with a penalty in the

33rd minute after Lukasz Piszczek was brought down by midfielder

Arthur Patras.

Poland were rarely at their best but they made the game safe

with eight minutes to go as Jakub Wawrzyniak headed in a cross

from the skipper.

The Poles, who have four points from two qualifying games,

are level with Group H rivals England and the two teams meet in

Warsaw on Oct. 16.

"We will have to get stronger for the England match," coach

Waldemar Fornalik told reporters.
