Match overview
Austria and Poland battled to a dramatic 1-1 draw in Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadion. Poland took the lead through Roger Guerreiro’s first-half strike, but veteran Ivica Vastić equalised from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time. Both sides pressed for a winner in front of a raucous 51,428 crowd under clear, mild skies.
Trivia
Ivica Vastić, at 38 years old, became the oldest goalscorer in European Championship history when he netted in injury time. Roger Guerreiro’s goal marked his first for Poland, and Artur Boruc’s string of crucial saves kept the match in balance until Austria’s last-gasp penalty.
