The Poles also made several switches, with Celtic's Artur Boruc taking over from Fabianski in goal, while Ebi Smolarek, Guerreiro and Wojciech Lobodzinski replaced Rafal Boguski, Gargula and Krzynowek.
Jacek Krzynowek then had a couple of efforts from long range as Poland gathered momentum, which continued after the interval as well, with Smolarek having a 20-meter shot saved.
