With a penalty shoot -out by Scott Mac Tomney in the 33 ‘Scotland won 1-0 in the second half, Greece, which paid for its failure – Jolis’ beam in the 68′, a positive debut chareta that broke Mouzakiti’s record.
National Greece tried against Scotland but failed. The guests thanks to their apt penalty shoot-out from the first 45 minutes won 0-1 and so they have at least the upper hand in the case of their first division of the Nations League. On March 23rd, the rematch of Glasgow.
Greece – Scotland: How did the two groups started
In Greece, under the beams, Tzolakis sat instead of Vlachodimos who stayed on the bench for the first time in 4.5 years.
Ethniki was 4-2-3-1, with Tzolakis in Estia and Rota, Mavropano, Koulierakis and Tsimika in front of them. Siopis – Mandalos was the twin in the huffs with Constantelia in a staff role. Massouras – Tzolis were the extremist with Ioannides in “9”.
Scotland was in 4-2-3-1 layout. Gordon in Estia, with Ralston, Sourta, Hanley and Chief Robertson being in front of him from right to left. Gilmur – MacLlin twin in the huffs and Maktomine in front of them in a staff role. McGin – Ferguson at the extremes and the only promoted Adams.
The Scots’ 0-1 and the phases of Ioannidis and Constantelia
In the first period of the race and for about 20 minutes a long phase there was no one of the two outposts. However, the Scots were then improved and preceded by an ambiguous penalty shoot -out.
In the 21st Ioannidis had a shot on an opponent and in the 22 ‘Maktominey had an effort that was cut. In the 28th, Maktominei had a slightly out -of -the -day screening after 3 internationals failed to drive the ball. In the 31st minute, Scotland won a penalty shoot-out after a Rota mark (irregular) on Maktominei scoring from the white bullet for 0-1. In the 37th, Constantiles had a shot a little out.
In the 39 ‘Ioannidis had a header outside after Constantelia’s cross. In the 41 ‘Massauras had an effort that left. Then, before the closure of the first part, Adams had 2 phases with a shot. Tzolakis was blocked by one time. In the delays, Tsimika’s foul took just over Gordon’s beams. The first 45 minutes ended with the Scots in front of the score and with their image better than Greece at some point.
The first presence of the frame that gave the impact line and the beam Jolis
At the start of the second half, Jovanovic threw the young chareta in the race, which gave many help creatively and aggressively. In the 51 ‘it was rightly canceled – as it appeared – Greece’s goal (by Jolis) because the ball had gone out when Mandalos made the shot.
In the 55 ‘Karetsas also had an excellent effort that passed very little. Following a shot by Jolis out and generally for Greece. In the 65 ‘a Maggin shot went off the target.
Greece then had a beam from Jolis ‘effort and a shot he found (from Jolis’ feet) and went a little out. From 72 ‘Jovanovic changed the formation to 4-4-2, putting Pavlidis inside. In the 85th, Steler initially gave a penalty in favor of Founta by Hanley but then the decision to foul changed. In the 87 ‘Pelka’s foul went to the wall. In the end the score was 0-1 until the end.
MVP: MAKTOMINEY for the image of the first 45 minutes. It had very good phases and the Scots’ goal for 0-1.
At their height: In the middle and front, Karetsas had the best image of Greek internationals for as long as he fought. Tzolakis under the goalposts was very positive even though he conceded the goal from the 11 steps. The Scots had a pretty good day of their huffs like Gilmur.
FAILURE CRICK: The first part of the first part of the image of its players from the center and front. Most of its huffs and midfielders did not perform accordingly. For example, Jolis went much better in the space he played in the second half and had a beam.
THE GAFA: There is the Rota phase for the Scottish penalty that was disputed. We will put here the many lost phases of Greece in the second half.
THE STARGAL: The pool of the penalty shootout at Rota in a phase seems controversial that Maktominei goes to the feet of the AEK player than the opposite. However, Raferi Stiller decided how it was a penalty. Bad handling of refereeing and fouls and cards. The Jolis goal was not awarded. It was generally bad arbitration.
THE GAZZETTA FUND: Greece, based on its image, though she didn’t get so much the plan of the first 45 minutes, could have scored the least one goal. It was already worth the tie. The Scots with organization and robust defense took the victory thanks to the penalty shoot -out of the first 45 minutes and so a small lead in the March 23 rematch. They had a better presence in the first 45 minutes.
GREECE: Tzolakis, Rota, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas, Siopis, Mandalos (72 ‘Pelkas), Konstantelias (72’ Pavlidis), Massouras (46 ‘Karetsas), Tzolis (72’ Zafiris) and Ioannidis (81).
SCOTLAND: Gordon, Ralston (89 ‘Porters), Sourta, Hanley, Robertson, Gilmur (90+ Johnston), Maclin (75’ Tirney), Maktomney, McGin, Ferguson and Adams (75 ‘Hirs).
