SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) -- Tightly marked by past and present club teammates who know him well, Poland striker Robert Lewandowski endured another frustrating match at the European Championship on Thursday.

Lewandowski had found a rare bit of space to run into after being shackled tightly by his Bayern Munich teammate Jerome Boateng and by Mats Hummels - Lewandowski's former teammate at Borussia Dortmund, who is joining Bayern next season.
