Greece draws 2-2 with Sweden in pre-World Cup friendly

·

Greece secured a 2-2 draw against Sweden in a pre-World Cup friendly at Strawberry Arena on Thursday, with a stoppage-time goal levelling the score.

Greece made a strong start, with Kosta Tsimikas scoring the team’s opening goal early in the first half. Sweden then levelled the score before a substitute player scored to put the hosts ahead.

While all hope seemed lost for Greece, Giorgos Masouras scored a goal deep into stoppage time to level the scores.

Greece will next face Italy in another pre-World Cup friendly on Sunday, June 7, in Heraklion, Greece.
