Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina played out a thrilling 2-2 draw in a friendly played in Turkey on Friday.

Both sides played enterprising and attacking football and Poland particularly will be encouraged by their performance as they continue to prepare to host Euro 2012, with the result coming on the back of a 3-1 victory over the Ivory Coast in November.

It was Poland who took an early lead, with Wisla Krakow striker Pawel Brozek firing them in front after just seven minutes.

But Bosnia and Herzegovina hit back when Muhamed Subasic converted Zvjezdan Misimovic’s free-kick 15 minutes after Poland’s opener.

The goal seemed to lift Poland, who were determined to extend their unbeaten record to four.

And eight minutes after half-time, they took the lead once more.

Szymon Pawlowski set up Brozek, who hit his shot into the bar and over the line from just inside the box to delight the Polish squad.

But Bosnia and Herzegovina again showed their fighting qualities to again come from behind when captain and Galatasary attacker Misimovic stepped up to take a penalty and coolly converted.

Neither side could produce a winner in the dying stages.
