- Poland’s previous win was a European Championship Qualifier in Chorzow, on May 2, 1979, that Poland won 2 to 0.
-On September 18, 1992, Dutch Captain Ruud Gullit withdrew from Holland squad for personal reasons.
At the time he was having playing time difficulties with his club AC Milan due to foreign player restrictions.
In his absence Marco van Basten captained the side.
-As stated in previous entries in this blog, Holland Manager Dick Advocaat was initially only appointed for the qualification phase.
Once that achieved he was supposed to make way for Barcelona Manager Johann Cruyff to manage in the WC Finals in USA in 1994.
-Holland still had not won a match under Advocaat. Their first friendly after the Euros on September 9, 1992 ended in a 3 to2 home loss vs. Italy.
They then lost a World Cup Qualifier on September 23rd, in Oslo to Norway by a score of 2 to 1.
Their first win under Advocaat would be away on December 16th vs. Turkey (3 to 1 win).
-This match turned out to be Marco van Basten’s last match for Holland.
He missed most of the rest of the season through injury and was completely inactive during the 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons.
In the summer 1995 he retired prematurely due to these injuries.

-Following the 1992 European Championships, Dutch goalkeeper Hans van Breukelen and veteran defender Adri van Tiggelen hard retired from the National Team.
