WROCLAW, Poland (Reuters) - A makeshift Poland fought out a 1-1 draw with visiting Russia in a Euro 2020 warmup on Tuesday after Vyacheslav Karavaev cancelled out Jakub Swierczok’s early opener for the home side. The striker side-footed the ball past Russia goalkeeper Anton Shunin from eight metres after Przemyslaw Frankowski set him up from a deep pass by Mateusz Klich, delighting home fans in Wroclaw’s Miejski stadium. The Russians were pegged back in the opening exchanges but drew level in the 20th minute as right back Karavaev tucked the ball past goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski at the far post after a superb Aleksandr Golovin cross. The game fizzled out after the break as both teams made an array of substitutions and neither was able to create any clear-cut chances. Russia are in Euro 2020 Group B alongside Denmark, Finland and Belgium while Poland are in Group E with Spain, Sweden and Slovakia.
