U-21 International: Poland - 2 Republic of Ireland - 2 Blackburn defender John Fitzgerald scored a 90th-minute equaliser as Ireland's under-21s came from two goals down in Grudziadz yesterday to extend their unbeaten run to 10 matches.

Ireland's nine-match unbeaten run looked in danger after twin brothers Pawel and Piotr Brozek scored a goal each for Poland. But Manchester City striker Stephen Elliott pulled one back in the 63rd minute, before Fitzgerald was the last-gasp hero.

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND U-21: Henderson, Kelly, Capper, Fitzgerald, McCarthy, Whelan, Flood, Potter, Elliott, Kevin Doyle, Thornton. Subs: Mehmet, Dillon, Simpemba, Graham Ward, Cregg, Brian Murphy, Daryl Murphy.
