Jakub Blaszczykowski steered Polandto a 2-1 victory over Czech Republic in Saturday's FIFA World Cup qualifier.
The Borussia Dortmund player was involved in the opening goal scored by Pawel Brozek before adding the second himself in the 52nd minute.
The Czechs pulled one back with three minutes left when Vaclav Sverkos set up fellow substitute Martin Fenin.
Poland's coach Leo Beenhakker was pleased with the significant improvement since his side's opening draw with Slovenia and an unconvincing victory over San Marino.
"Today Blaszczykowski was the best man on the pitch, but I feel the whole team played a good match," Beenhakker told a news conference after the match.
Poland lead Group Three with seven points from three games while the Czechs, who have one point from two matches, are fourth.
"We have to win all the games that are left as we have only one point. We will do everything to win those games," Czech coach PetrRada said.
Poland visit Slovakia on Wednesday while the Czechs host Slovenia.
