DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland substitute Shane Long scored an injury-time equaliser to rescue a 1-1 home draw against Group D leaders Poland on Sunday and keep the hosts in contention for a place at Euro 2016.

Played in an atmosphere that felt more like a local derby with Ireland's large Polish community making plenty of noise, Poland took a deserved lead just before the half hour after Slawomir Peszko clinically punished a Robbie Brady mistake.
