Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland failed to inspire yet again on Thursday, losing 1-0 to France in a friendly that underlined their defensive woes.
Defender Tomasz Jodlowiec deflected a shot by France midfielder Charles N’Zogbia into his own goal in the 12th minute, accidentally beating his own keeper Wojciech Szczesny, for the only goal of the game.
France, meanwhile, put in an underwhelming performance which nonetheless extended manager Laurent Blanc’s unbeaten run to 10 games.
The match was also a disappointment for French-born Poland midfielder Ludovic Obraniak, who notched up nothing more than a yellow card in his first-ever encounter with Les Bleus..
