Euro 2012 co-hosts Ukraine were beaten
3-2 by Austria in Innsbruck on Friday in their penultimate
warm-up friendly ahead of the tournament.
The visitors were caught cold after three minutes when
Zlatko Junuzovic curled an excellent free-kick beyond the
goalkeeper.
Ukraine levelled after 56 minutes, Oleh Gusyev tapping the
ball in from close range following a through ball from Andriy
Yarmolenko.
Marko Arnautovic restored Austria's lead six minutes later
with a powerful effort low into the corner.
Gusyev, though, struck again in the 65th minute with a
long-range thunderbolt of a shot into the top corner.
Arnautovic then grabbed the winner with two minutes left to
play.
Ukraine, drawn with France, England and Sweden in Group D,
take on Turkey in a final warm-up in Ingolstadt on Tuesday.
Their first match in the Euros is against Sweden in Kiev on
June 11. Poland are also co-hosts.
