ANTALYA, Turkey. Dec 16 (UEFA) - Waldemar Sobota's goal ensured Poland ended the year on a high as a side consisting of Ekstraklasa-based players triumphed in Turkey.

Final score: Poland 1-0 Bosnia and Herzegovina

Waldemar Sobota's first-half goal ensured Poland ended the year on a high as a side consisting of Ekstraklasa-based players beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-0 in Antalya, Turkey.

Śląsk Wrocław defender Sobota struck on 26 minutes after turning over possession on the edge of the box.

Franciszek Smuda's side ought to have extended their advantage, with Maciej Jankowski and Arkadiusz Piech both failing to make the most of presentable opportunities up against in-form goalkeeper Adnan Hadzić.

Still, the UEFA EURO 2012 will take heart from a victory against a side they drew 2-2 with 12 months ago.

It was especially impressive as not only were Poland deprived of their non-domestic players, they were also without those from Wisła Kraków and Legia Warsaw due to UEFA Europa League duties.

This match also saw the return of the White Eagle on the Polish NIKE tops, where the Polish Football Federation (PZPN) saw scrutiny previously for removing it.

Poland had won just one of their previous five games.
