Lewandowski scored Poland's third goal in its 4-2 win over Montenegro that clinched first place in Group E, at the expense of Denmark. Poland is the fifth European nation to qualify after Belgium, Germany, England, and Spain with Russia already sure of participating as tournament host. Lewandowski has had 51 goals in 91 international matches since his debut for Poland in 2008 and became the first European player to score more than 15 goals in a FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. That record might only last two days, with Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo on 15 goals in Group B with one qualifier remaining the winner-takes-all match against Switzerland on Tuesday. It will be Poland's eighth appearance at a Football World Cup, with third place its best finish in both 1974 and '82. Denmark assured itself the consolation prize of a place in the playoffs for the best eight runners-up from the nine groups by drawing 1-1 at Romania. Northern Ireland's spot in the playoffs was also confirmed Sunday, but Slovakia must wait despite clinching second place in Group F behind unbeaten England. Poland needed only a point in Warsaw to qualify automatically for the FIFA World Cup as group winner,
