Euro 2008: Late penalty earns Austria 1-1 draw against Poland
Fri. June 13, 2008 01:35 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. -

(SomaliNet) Ivica Vastic scored an injury-time penalty Thursday to give European Championship co-host Austria a 1-1 draw with Poland.

Mariusz Lewandowski pulled the shirt of Sebastian Proedl in the area on a free kick and the referee awarded the Austrians a penalty kick. Vastic sent his shot to the goalkeeper's right.

Brazilian-born playmaker Roger Guerreiro gave Poland the lead by tapping in a 30th-minute cross from Marek Saganowski for his first international goal since he received Polish citizenship in April.

The result means Croatia has clinched first place in Group B after its 2-1 win over Germany. The other three teams in the group all have a chance to join the Croats in the knockout round in their final games on Monday.

Austria had utterly dominated early, outshooting the Poles 7-1 and forcing three corners to a single kick by Poland before Roger scored at Ernst Happel Stadium.-Agencies
