POLISH and Swiss WAGS were out in force during their country's Euro 2016 clash yesterday - providing the second knockout spectacle of the closely-fought fixture.
With the tie ending 5-4 to Poland after a penalty shootout, the footie stars' other halves showed how the players have been scoring off the pitch as well as on it.
Dubbed the PWAGs and SWAGs, the wives of players such as Switzerland's Blerim Dzemaili and Poland's Robert Lewandowski were a distraction for fans in the stands, despite perhaps the best goal of the tournament from Swiss midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri.
Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny's wife also wowed stunned fans as she posed for a selfie with Lewandowski's wife Anna.
