Imposing Greece defeat Ireland in Nations League match

·

Greece claimed its second victory in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday, defeating Ireland 2-0. Both goals came in the second half.

The Greek team was more composed against Ireland compared to their match with Finland three nights earlier.

Greece’s goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos was hardly busy throughout the game, except for a 41st-minute goal that was correctly disallowed as offside.

In the first half, Greece’s Tasos Bakasetas and Konstantinos Koulierakis came close to scoring with no luck.

Four minutes into the second half, Fotis Ioannidis placed a well-taken shot to the top corner of the Ireland goal for 1-0.

Three minutes from the end, Christos Tzolis had a spectacular solo effort from a Bakasetas pass end up in the back of the net, to seal victory for the Greek national team.

Greece’s next game is on October 10 against England at Wembley.
