Co-hosts of the 2012 European Championship Ukraine and Poland shared the spoils in a friendly 1-1 draw on Saturday. Ukraine caretaker coach Yuriy Kalytvyntsev has chosen four Dynamo players for his starting line-up - Yevhen Khacheridi, Taras Mykhalyk, Oleh Husyev and Andriy Shevchenko.
Poland took the lead a few minutes before the interval, when forward Ireneusz Jelen latched on to a superb pass from Jakub Blaszczykowski and drove the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the box. After the restart, Ukraine pressed in search of an equaliser and finally found it thanks to Yevhen Seleznyov, who struck in added time to level the game.
Ukraine will continue their preparations for EURO-2012 finals with the next friendly match against Chile on Tuesday, September 7, at the Lobanovskyy Dynamo stadium in Kyiv.
