Wins for Poland and Ukraine

16 November 2011-PA Sport

Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland and Ukraine both recorded 2-1 wins against Hungary and Austria receptively in international friendlies.

An 85th-minute Vilmos Vanczak own goal sealed Poland's success while 10-man Ukraine left it even later as substitute Marko Devic netted in injury-time.

Ukraine led through Artem Milevskiy (17) but a win looked beyond it when Austria's Marko Arnautovic (71) equalised and Oleksandr Kucher was sent off 10 minutes from the end.

Greece's 17-game unbeaten run came crashing to an end as it went down 3-1 at home to Romania.

Giorgos Karagounis (33) had cancelled out Gabriel Torje's 17th-minute opener, but the Romanians won thanks to strikes from Cristian Tanase (60) and Alexsandru Chipciu (81).

Three first-half goals helped the United States to a 3-2 win against Slovenia.

Edson Buddle, Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore (penalty) netted before the break while Tim Matavz scored both goals for the host.

FYR Macedonia and Albania fought out a goalless draw.

Denmark came from behind to beat Finland 2-1 while Serbia lost 2-0 away to Honduras.
