With a draw with Albania, our National team completed its obligations for the World Cup qualifiers and finished in the last position of the group with 4 points.
Our team did not escape the mediocrity of the previous games in the first half, while in the second with the entry of Stathis Aloneftis it became better and more demanding.
Without many phases the game with the Albanians having the initiative for the longest time. The tie is normal and fair in general. With Piero Sotiriou and Aloneftis the best moments of the National, from one in each half respectively.
