Own goal proves decisive in Warsaw

France finished their season on a winning note as Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland went down 1-0 in Warsaw. Laurent Blanc took the opportunity to field an experimental side in Thursday's international friendly and was rewarded with a confidence-boosting victory. Poland made an inspired start with French-born midfielder Ludovic Obraniak in fine form, but they were the architects of their own downfall as a 12th-minute own goal proved decisive. Slack defending from Tomasz Jodlowiec sent the ball into his own net in the 12th minute after he deflected a shot from Wigan's Charles N'Zogbia. A capacity crowd inspired Franciszek Smuda's Poland side to a strong second-half showing as Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny and France debutant Cedric Carrasso demonstrated their goalkeeping skills. But France held on to give Blanc's side a second friendly win this week following a 4-1 victory in Ukraine on Monday.
