Skriniar the hero in Slovakia win

As Marek Hamsik’s influence begins to wane for Slovakia, Milan Skriniar has stepped up as the main man. Scoring the winning goal in a match at a European Championship is a decent way to start. Skriniar brought down a corner and toe-poked the ball into the net from 15 metres to earn Slovakia a 2-1 victory over Poland on Monday. It’s becoming quite the year for the uncompromising centre back, who is coming off playing an integral role for Inter Milan in its title-winning campaign in Italy.
