The first minutes of the match were identified with Greece having a superiority without being able to break up the Scottish defense. The first good time in the match came at 8 ′ when Bakassetas changed very well with Jolis, with Panathinaikos leader making the shoot but Pavlidis failed to get into the ball and send it into the net. The hosts responded to the opportunities and in the 17th minute McGin kicked a corner from the right, Ferguson took the head to the second beam with the goal of Adams but Tzolakis was there to eliminate the danger to our national team. The “blue -white” again threatened Gun’s frames in the 32nd minute, when our internationals stole high, Massauras received the ball finding Pavlidis, with the Greek striker trying his feet from a long distance, the ball against him. Our National continued to present an excellent image regularly without being able to translate its appearance with the two teams going to the locker room without scoring.
At the beginning of the second half our national team came close to the goal, when Koulierakis found Tsimika with a wonderful ball, he turned with Pavlidis taking the head but the ball went high. The “blue -white” continued to circulate the ball calmly and raise dangers in Gun’s frames. At 54 ′ in fact, our representative band missed a huge opportunity to open the scoring with Jolis giving Pavlidis, he set up for Massura but the Greek extremist shot from an advantage did not find a goal. But the goal showed that it was a matter of time and at 62 ′ after a good release the ball reached Jolis, he returned for Pavlidis, Sartar put the counter but he actually put the ball for Tsimika who did not look at him and won 1-0. But Scotland’s response was immediate and after the Mavropanu removal, the ball reached Christie and he won Tzolakis with a 1-1 draw at 64 ′. After the end of our national team, Jovanovic freshened the team aggressively passing Karetsa, Ioannidis and Constantelia. The hosts in the 75th came close to overturn when Gilmur found Adams in the latter’s attempt to get in the corner. The Scots continued to foul around our region and in one at 79 ′ they brought the match with Robertson going to the execution, our internationals did not remove and Setar made it 2-1. After our second goal, our national goal showed to be shocked and it took several minutes to threaten the Scots’ frames. In the delays of the match, Karetsas reached a breath away, but Gunn with impressive surgery denied the goal and in an unsuspecting phase the Scots scored the third time when Tzolakis lost the ball through his hands and Dikes was 3-1.
