The match

Shy, unassuming and with no food on your menu of attacks, the National Team of Greece came in to "hit" Northern Ireland in a match that it should have definitely won.

However, the only remarkable thing we have to remember from the first half is the phase of Karelis at 33΄.

On the other hand, the Irish had a much more organized plan in their game which turned out perfectly since the 9th Ward opened the scoring for them.

In fact, in the 45th minute, Laferti had a goal, while against Manolas and Papastathopoulos he did exceptionally well.

In the second half, Ranieri's 4-2-4 became 4-3-3 with Samaris entering the match, instead of Athanasiadis.

However, even this experiment did not succeed. Laferti in the 54th minute defeated Stafilidis and Karnezi and cut off the legs of Ranieri's players.

This was the final blow for our National Team that did not have any good moments in the match from there and beyond. The game ended early.

The compositions of the two groups:

GREECE: Karnezis, Torosidis, Papastathopoulos, Manolas, Vyntra (16 'Stafilidis), Tachtsidis, Maniatis, Karelis, Samaras (67' Salpiggidis), Athanasiadis (46 'Samaris), Mitroglou.

NORTHERN IRELAND: Carroll, McLaughlin, McLaughlin, Hughes, Ferguson (79 'Reeves), Davis, Byrd, Norwood, Evans, Ward (59' McGovern), Lafferty (72 'Magnins).
