Team Greece draw with Albania in All Nations Cup opener

·

Team Greece kicked off its 2024 All Nations Cup with a hard fought 1 all draw against Albania. The first half was an arm wrestle with both teams having clear opportunities to score however, the match was goalless at the main break.

Greece came out in the second half in full attack mode hitting the crossbar from a long range shot however, it was Albania who opened the scoring with five minutes left in regulation time.

When all seemed lost, Greece had a last minute corner which was headed home from close range. 1 all was the final score and Greece will be happy with a point against a very tough and well drilled Albanian Team.

“Considering the boys have just come together and it was their first game, I’m very pleased with their effort and determination to play to the end and get at least a point to kick start our campaign. I look forward to the next game next Sunday,” Con said.

Michael Karamitos, Greek Community of Melbourne Vice President, was also full of praise for the boys.
