Republic of Ireland denied friendly win by late Poland equaliser
Mateusz Klich's late equaliser denied the Republic of Ireland a morale-boosting friendly win after debutant Aiden O'Brien put the visitors ahead.
After a lacklustre first-half in Wroclaw, Millwall striker O'Brien nodded the Irish ahead after a superb turn and cross by Callum O'Dowda.
The Republic seemed set to see out the game but Leeds United's Klich levelled with three minutes left.
But the result was progress for the Irish after the 4-1 thumping by Wales.
