Poland and Greece have ended the first match of the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship in a 1:1 draw in Warsaw
At the National Stadium in Warsaw, Poland started with Robert Lewandowski heading home in the 17th minute.
The first half became even worse for Greece in the 44th minute when a minor challenge from Sokratis Papasthathopoulous drew a second yellow card and left his team with 10 men for the full second half.
However, only minutes into the second half substitute Dimitrios Salpingidis knocked home the equalizer.
A while later the Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny from Arsenal took out the Greek striker Salpingidis’s legs, which play earned him a red card and gave Greece a penalty to take the lead.
Przemyslaw Tyton of Poland came off the bench to save a penalty that preserved the tie.
