The Barcelona striker capitalised on an error by Saudi Arabia midfielder Abdelulelah Al Malki before sending a composed finish past onrushing goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais.
Lewandowski was visibly emotional after ending a run of four World Cup games without finding the net.
Piotr Zielinski had given Poland a first-half lead from Lewandowski’s cutback, but Saudi Arabia were awarded a penalty five minutes later for Krystian Bielik’s foul on Saleh Al Shehri.
Wojciech Szczesny kept out Feras Al Brikan’s effort before producing a sensational one-handed stop to prevent Mohammed Al Burayk from burying the rebound.
Saud Abdulhamid was denied by Sczcesny and Al Brikan shot over the bar in the second half, while Arkadiusz Milik and Lewandowski were both denied by the woodwork as Poland sought to double their lead on the counter-attack.
Lewandowski’s late strike ended Saudi Arabia’s hopes of building on Tuesday’s remarkable victory over Argentina and boosts Poland’s hopes of reaching the last 16 for the first time since 1986, when they were beaten 4-0 by Brazil in the first knockout round.
Czeslaw Michniewicz’s team play Argentina in their final Group C game on Wednesday, while Saudi Arabia face Mexico at the same time.
After being a trending topic on social media and releasing a statement about abuse allegations levelled against her son, Donell Sedibe, for abusing his now ex-girlfriend Reokeditswe Makete, Sonia Mbele confirmed that her son is in rehab.
In an exclusive interview with Drum, Sonia confirmed that she had sent her son to rehab and stated that she was surprised when she found out about the abuse.
“I did not see this coming. They have been together for a while, and they were so close and in love. Immediately when this happened, I sat them both down and I decided to send my son away to get help.
“I realised that if he is anything like his father, he is going to need help immediately. His father was abusive, but I stayed for nine years because I was in love, I wanted to build, and I thought things would change.
“I am frustrated.
“I’m frustrated because I want to do right by my son, I want to do right by her, and I want to do right by society, but I realise that I am not an octopus,” Sonia was quoted as saying

Sonia’s quick release of the statement is evidence of how quickly she wanted to confront the issue. In the interview, she reportedly said she, with age, “learnt that running away does not help. Instead, it prolongs things. It is better to face the music”.
“For me, this is family and not just a trending topic on social media,” she added.
In the statement she released, she emphasised the relationship she had with Reokeditswe, treating her like a daughter and supporting her career. Sonia reiterated this in the interview.
“Like I said, she is studying at AFDA and I said would mentor and groom her in the industry because I really care about her,” she was quoted as saying.
Makete took to Instagram to upload photos of the injuries received from Donell’s alleged abuse.
She further alleged that Donelle was logged into her Instagram account and deleted her posts in which she shares the injuries she sustained.

Knowing defeat would mean an early exit from the competition, Graham Arnold’s side came out of the blocks full of energy and intent.
Mitchell Duke took advantage of their positive start when he superbly flicked Craig Goodwin’s cross into the far corner to put them 1-0 up after 23 minutes.
That sparked an outburst of jubilant celebration from the small contingent of Australia fans behind the goal, which momentarily silenced the hostile and unwavering support for Tunisia.
Hissed and jeered throughout by striking clusters of fans draped in red at the Al Janoub Stadium, Australia held their nerve to claim their first victory at a World Cup since 2010.
They survived a desperate onslaught from Tunisia in the second half, with Youssef Msakni forcing goalkeeper Mathew Ryan into a save at his near post, though that came moments after Mathew Leckie had come inches away from connecting with Goodwin’s cross at the other end.
Stoke City defender Harry Souttar put in a superb performance, making several key blocks and tackles as Australia dug in.
Australia, who suffered a humbling defeat by France in their opening match, will take on tough opponents Denmark next – but with qualification in their own hands. This was a crucial match for both nations given they face competition from defending world champions France and Euro 2020 semi-finalists Denmark to progress from Group D.
It could not have been a better start for Australia then, as they dominated the opening 15 minutes to leave Tunisia unable to get out of their half.
Goodwin’s crosses from the left were initially dealt with, but the ease with which Australia were getting joy down that side will have caused concern for Tunisia.
Eventually, one of those crosses paid off as Duke expertly flicked Goodwin’s delivery into the far corner and ran over to the touchline to receive a clamour of pats on the head from his team-mates.
That goal did little to silence the overwhelming majority of Tunisia fans in the Al Janoub Stadium, though, and it was their side who ended the first half stronger with two big opportunities to equalise.
Australia centre-back Souttar made a crucial, sliding block to deny Mohamed Drager, just minutes before Tunisia captain Msakni volleyed an effort inches wide.
Tunisia changed shape in the second half and put Australia under spells of relentless pressure. Aaron Mooy had to make another vital block, before Souttar yet again intervened to stop a dangerous counter-attack.
The anxiety was palpable in the stadium when Tunisia substitute Wahbi Khazri almost poked in a late equaliser, before six added minutes were signalled by the fourth official.
But Australia – who had to come through two play-offs to qualify for the tournament in Qatar – held on for a significant victory and they go into their final group match with all to play for.
Tunisia, who take on France in their final match, are all but out.
Not everyone is toxic in a relationship. There are good people who strongly hold a relationship with ethics, values and pure love.
They maturely handle fights and arguments without making the other person feel insignificant, worthless or extremely sad.
These types of people are very considerate in relationships. Let’s have a look at some of the things that good men never do in relationships!
1. He will never comment on your looks
A good man will never pick apart your looks. He will never pull down your self-esteem by saying mean comments. He will only encourage you to accept yourself and be a confident and unapologetic person.
2. He will never invade your privacy
He will never try to cross boundaries and sneak into your private space. He will give you ample time and space. You will notice that he will never glance into your phone, or read your texts or messages. This means he doesn’t feel threatened about you needing your own space.
3. He will never discourage you
A good man will never discourage you from doing something that you really want. They may not support your decision but they will surely respect it. You will never feel discouraged from his side but there will only be words of motivation and encouragement from him.
4, He won’t make you prove your value to him
A good man will know how much you are worth. You won’t feel the need to prove your worth to him because he will value and appreciate you for who you are. The minute you feel you need to prove yourself to him, you should know when to walk away.
5. He will never make you feel like a second option
A good man will never make you feel secondary in a relationship. He will prioritise you the right way and give you importance. He will tend to your needs and wants without you ever feeling insignificant.
6. He will never avoid important discussions
He will never try to dodge or avoid important questions revolving around your relationship. He will always be up for necessary conversations because he will understand the importance of getting a problem between you both resolved.

TV host and entrepreneur Moshe Ndiki is a proud dad after his son graduated from pre-school.
Moshe took to his Instagram account to share the exciting news, and publicly congratulated him.
He shared a series of pictures from the graduation ceremony and captioned them “PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME! I’M A FATHER TO A GRADUATE!” “Ahhhh my boy, I love you and so proud of you, continue in the path of the lord, we love you and support you. IT TAKES A VILLAGE. @lukhanvisosoci @bulelwaso thank you for allowing me to be a part of this journey, and thank you for your love and updates. WE DID IT!” He wrote. Moshe has been enjoying the fatherhood journey and we love to see it. In 2020, he shared the heartwarming news that he became a father to a boy through surrogacy. Gushing over his son, Moshe took to Twitter to announce that he was finally going to be a father.
“I prayed for you, longed for you, Thalanda Ilanga Ntaba Alexander Ndiki. (Tina) Thank you to my doctor, my fertility clinic, my friend Sabelo who helped me start, and my surrogate, what a journey we have traveled and still to travel… I’m gonna be a dad!” he exclaimed.
At the time he welcomed his son, Moshe was married to Phelo Bala in a secret ceremony at Home Affairs, attended by family and friends. Their private engagement and wedding had fans shocked when they first found out.
But their union got tainted by abuse allegations with Phelo alleging Moshe abused him. Afterward, Phelo started posting another man but we cannot help but think that it was a publicity stunt because they became lovey dovey all over the timeline.
But their divorce was made public by Moshe who said he is not left discouraged and will marry again. In an interview with Isolezwe, the TV host confirmed that their marriage has ended. “As a person who was previously married, I will get married again because I love marriage and love. The problem is not in love or marriage, it’s with people,” he said.
This was after they celebrated their anniversary and where Moshe gushed over Phelo after two years of getting married. “Happy 2nd year wedding anniversary, love @moshendiki. Can’t believe we’ve made it this far…I think you don’t know how strong you are to handle someone like me until Moshe tells you so. I’m an extremist and at times a gentleman. Sometimes I’m laughing with you, other times I’m so wrong but you try your best to keep us going. I love you and I mean it! I pray that God keeps you around with me in time for you to see His glory in my life,” he captioned the post.”

In other news – Release date of 50 Cent’s “BMF” Season 2
50 Cent‘s hit STARZ series BMF has received an official release date for Season 2, along with an action-packed, star-studded trailer to set the tone.

50 Cent‘s hit STARZ series BMF has received an official release date for Season 2, along with an action-packed, star-studded trailer to set the tone.
The popular series is set to make its return on Friday, January 6, arriving on the STARZ app at Midnight and airing on the cable network at 8:00 p.m. EST.
According to Deadlin ande, Season 2 will draw viewers further into the rise of the Flenory brothers — Big Meech and Southwest Tee — as they begin expanding their empire beyond Detroit, with their sights set on global domination.
In addition to teasing new story lines and revisiting old ones, like Meech and Tee’s conflicts with their parents and with each other, the trailer also introduces two high profile guest stars.
Mo’Nique makes her first appearance as Goldie, after 50 Cent made good on a promise to cast her in one of his shows earlier this year. Comedian Leslie Jones also joins BMF this season, in the role of Federal Agent Tracy Chambers.
The Season 2 trailer also sees Snoop Dogg reprising his role as Pastor Swift. Absent from the trailer, however, is Yung Miami; though fans already got a look at her character, Deanna, when she announced she had landed the role in October.
STARZ had also previously hinted at the release in a Twitter post from the official BMF account celebrating Mo’Nique, Yung Miami, Leslie Jones and Snoop.
BMF‘s series premier in September 2021 broke a number of records at STARZ, including earning the No. 1 premiere on the network’s app across all of its programming last year. Preliminary reports immediately following the show’s debut also stated that it was one of the most highly engaged series premieres ever.
The show’s success led to it being renewed even before its second episode had aired.
“Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson continues to find and cultivate stories like BMF that are culturally relevant, bringing the network important untold stories that are incredibly diverse both in front of and behind the camera,” STARZ CEO Jeffrey Hirsch added. “Following such a strong debut, we’re excited to see what Curtis, Randy and the award-worthy cast deliver in the second season.”
The show’s popularity also led to STARZ greenlighting The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast two months later. Executive produced by 50 Cent, the doc — which is currently airing — is a companion piece to the hit-series, which was originally touted to be an eight-episode docu-series when it was announced. However, before The BMF Documentary even made its debut on STARZ last month, 50 Cent had announced that his deal with the network had come to an end. Fif made the announcement very nonchalantly in mid-September, with the caption of a video that saw him hand-counting stacks of cash.
“No one from music culture has had success in Television production,” he wrote. “I have 25 shows now and I’ve made some big deals away from TV. I’m out of my deal at STARZ tomorrow.”
He has since inked a deal with Lusid Media on a three-project partnership. Details of the partnership and financial numbers have not yet been revealed but the first film project will be an unscripted crime drama coming to Peacock next year.
“I am excited by the kind of stories we’re going to be bringing to life together, and can’t wait for the first project to reach Peacock next year,” 50 Cent said. “G-Unit Film & Television continues to go from strength-to-strength, and this partnership with Lusid is another great collaboration for the team.”

Gareth Southgate’s side were second best for long periods as they failed to match the energy and intensity of the USA, who have their own hopes of making the last 16.
England, with Harry Maguire outstanding in defence, were unimpressive and rode their luck when Weston McKennie missed an easy chance and Christian Pulisic struck the bar in the first half.
Mason Mount brought a fine save from USA goalkeeper Matt Turner just before the break but this was an undistinguished display that carried none of the attacking verve that saw the Three Lions thrash Iran in their opening game, and leaves them heading into their match against Wales with their fate undecided.
England remain firm favourites to qualify for the knockout stage, knowing they only need to avoid a four-goal defeat against Wales to progress.
