Klagenfurt, Austria, May 23:  Artur Sobiech's first international goal gave Poland a 1-0 win over Latvia on Tuesday in the co-host's first warm-up game before the European championship.



The Hannover striker came on as a substitute for the final 33 minutes and scored with a header from a left-wing cross by Kamil Grosicki in the 81st.

Poland coach Franciszek Smuda rested several key players, including the team's top scorer Robert Lewandowski of Borussia Dortmund.

Poland dominated possession but created few dangerous chances. Defender Marcin Wasilewski missed the team's best chance in the first half when his header hit the post.

Poland's next test match is against Slovakia on Saturday, again in Klagenfurt.
