Austria 1 Poland 1

Poland suffered heartache in Euro 2008 when they conceded a 93rd minute equaliser against hosts Austria. Combined with Croatia's shock defeat of Germany the same evening, Poland will probably come home after just 3 games.

I watched the match in our nearby Multi-Kino cinema. It was packed with fans who provided a really good atmosphere. It was made especially pleasant as the cinema (unlike the bars and pubs) was no smoking and you could still drink (cheap) beer at your seat.

Austria dominated the early exchanges and Celtic's goalkeeper Artur Boruc kept them in the game until Poland's (Brazilian born) Guerreiro gave the Poles an unlikely lead.

In the second half Poland were much the stronger side and pressed hard for a second goal. It looked sewn up by Poland until the 93rd minute when the referee harshly awarded Austria a penalty. The fans despaired and hurled insults at the screen, then watched as (Croation born) Vastic scored past Boruc. It had been a confusing game with a Brazillian and Croation scoring for Poland and Austria respecively.

I crept out of the cinema along with the disappointed fans - anxious to make sure nobody realised I was English (the nationality of stupid referee Howard Webb)
