The Austrian team huffed and puffed but could not make an impression against a resolute Polish defence. In fact Poland created more chances but couldn't add to their somewhat dubious opening goal.
Then, in the 3rd minute of added time, the referee adhered to the pre-tournament directive reported by the media which instructed match officials to clamp down on pushing/pulling in the penalty area and he awarded a kick from the penalty mark to Austria for a clear shirt pull and drag to the ground by a Polish defender.
The goal was scored and the game finished in a draw Poland 1-1 Austria. The permutations for this group in terms of draws and wins, etc. are too many to name but I think even a win for the Polish team in the final round of games may not be enough to see them go through
