A second half in which Slovakia's team was completely ineffective. Greece dominated the second half, and they ended up winning 4-1 in the final moments of the match.

 

Greece makes it 4-1, and this is a good result for Greece in Heraklion. Vaggianidis sent a very good cross to the far post, where Douvikas arrived at the far post and finished it easily.

 

This goal finishes the match, a very good deep pass to the attacker Giorgios Masouras, who makes a very good sprint, arrives inside the area, crosses it back to Dobvikas and scores the 3-1

Also there was a change for Slovakia Matus Bero is out Tadeas Hajovsky is in

 

A young Olympiakos player, 17-year-old Christos Mouzakitis, enters the field for his third match with the Greek national team.

Dimitros Kourbelis, left, takes the field.

 

Slovakia's manager, Francesco Calzona, decides to sit back for a moment and hands over the baton to Slovakia national team and Napoli legend Marek Hamsik.

 

Lubomir Satka enters the field

Ivan Mesik leaves the field

Ondrej Duda leaves the field

Laszlo Benes enters the field

Ivan Schranz leaves the field

David Hrncar enters for his first time as a Slovakia player

 

Vangelis Pavlidis, scorer of the second goal, comes off the pitch

Anastasios Douvikas comes on

Christos Tzolis comes off the pitch

Dimitros Pelkas comes on

 

Forward Lubomir Tupta comes off the field

David Duris comes on

David Strelec comes off the field

Debutant Erik Prekop comes on

 

A good cross into the box, they couldn't head it, the midfielder managed to finish, the shot went wrong, but Pavlidis, with a striker's instinct, was alone and scored the second.

 

Giorgios Masouras is in the field 

Konstantinos Karetsas is out 

Anastasios Bakasetas is in the field 

Giannis Konstantelias is out of the field 

Manolis Siopis is in the field 

Christos Zaferis is out of the field 

 

It has been a very weak second half for both teams, 10 minutes have passed, and there has not been a single shot, either on goal or off, everything has been very calm on the part of both teams

 

It has been a  match where there have been obviously fouls, but none of the fouls have been serious, as the German referee has not decided to issue a card. The score remains 1-1, with no cards.

 

Let's hope the second half of this match is as good as or better than the first half, a second half filled with goals, spectacular plays, and much more from both teams. 

 

A very intense first half, a match that doesn't feel friendly at all, both teams are fighting as if they were aiming for a direct ticket to the World Cup. Both goalkeepers are shining.

The Slovakian team attacked again, and Bochum midfielder Matus Bero shot at goal, but Christos Mandas again made the save, saving the Greek team from a thrashing

 

Now it was Slovakia's turn to take the shot, the game is back and forth, a good ball to right winger Tupta, who entered the area, shot across and Mandas again saved another dangerous opportunity for Slovakia.

 

Greece's goal scorer, Konstantelias, came in from the left flank of goalkeeper Dubravka, entered the area, took a shot, but it went straight into the goalkeeper's hands.

 

A very good pass from David Strelec to the full-back David Hancko, who is very offensive, reaches the far post to finish and scores the equalizer of the match.

 

The youngest player on the field, attacker Karetsas, once again very unbalanced, tried to get into the area, but before doing so he hit the ball, but it went wide.

 

A very good ball from Christos Tzolis towards Vangelis Pavlidis who arrives alone inside the area, the first shot was missed by the Benfica striker, the striker Konstantelias got the rebound and put it into the net.

 

The penalty taker was Hellas Verona attacking midfielder Ondrej Duda, who shot powerfully from the bottom left corner, but Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas made a good save.

 

A very good play from David Strelec, he took on Retsos inside the box, sat him down, after that he was going to go around Mandas, but he took him down. And they win a penalty. 

 

Genk striker Karetsas, who is very unbalanced, made a good run down the left flank, shaking off a defender, entered the area, and shot low to the near post, but Dubravka made a great save.

 

After a good opportunity missed from Slovakia, the defense of Greece cleared it out but it went straight into the Benfica attacker Pavlidis, who ran through the defense, had a very powerful shot, but Dubravka saved it. 

We hope it will be a match, even if it is a friendly, full of excitement, since it is a preparation match for both teams to be in good shape for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

 

In this particular match between the two teams, as already mentioned, there have been only four goals in three matches, but unfortunately, all four goals have been scored by the Greek team alone; Slovakia has not been able to score against them.

This particular match between Greece and Slovakia is a game with very few goals. In total, in the three games they've played, there have been four goals. Let's hope the match turns around for the better today and there are more goals.

 

Slovakia has been in inconsistent form, winning 2, drawing 1, and losing 2 in their last 5 matches.

Azerbaijan 1-3 Slovakia

Sweden 2-1 Slovakia

Slovakia 1-0 Estonia

Slovakia 0-0 Slovenia

Slovenia 1-0 Slovakia

 

Greece has been in very good form in its last 5 matches, winning 3 and losing 2.

Greece 2-0 Ireland

Greece 0-3 England

Finland 0-2 Greece

Greece 0-1 Scotland

Scotland 0-3 Greece

The referee for todays match will be the 40 year old German Harm Osmers, who has a lot of experience around the world, but specially in German football, he has officiated 124 Bundesliga matches, 89 2 Bundesliga matches, 3 matches in the Saudi Pro League, and many others. 

Italian coach Francesco Calzona's team decided to leave out some important players, including 30-year-old Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, who will not play today.

The Greek national team is going all out, they have a very talented starting eleven, and on the bench they also have many players who can easily come onto the field in the second half.

 

The Slovakian team is already in the field

The player to watch from the Slovakian national team is the 24 year old striker David Strelec. This attacker has been lethal for his team. He plays in the capital of Slovakia, more specific, he plays for Slovan Bratislava. In 29 matches that he played he scored 20 goals and 5 assists. 

Also, for the Slovakian national team, in the Nations League, he scored 4 goals in 6 matches. 

The player to watch from the Greek national team is the 23-year-old left winger named Christos Tzolis. The forward currently plays for Club Brugge in Belgium, and he had a spectacular season with the team from the Belgian capital.

In 38 matches played, he scored 16 goals and provided 9 assists.In addition, he was the top scorer for the Greek team in the Nations League, as he scored 3 goals in 7 matches played.

 

Greece and Slovaka have been teams that have been around for a very long time, and also, they are both european, but oddly enough, since 2008 both teams have only faced 3 times. In the 3 times Greece has won all of them, and Slovakia has not scored a single goal in those 3 matches. The last time they faced each other was in 2013, for the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers.

The team from the Italian manager Francesco Calzona had a good Nations League, but it could have been better. They finished second place, which led them to a play off to go to the League B, but they failed to qualify, since Slovenia won and they stayed in the League B. Slovakia will also have two friendlies to prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The first one will be tomorrow against Greece and the second one will be on tuesday against Israel. 

Slovakia could have a chance to go to the World Cup, since in their qualifing group are the following teams: Luxembourg, Germany and Northern Ireland. 

The team of Serbian coach Ivan Jovanovic finished well in the UEFA Nations League after finishing second in their group and secured one of the spots to advance to League A, which is the highest possible group in the Nations League. Now, the Greek national team has two friendlies to prepare for qualifying to the 2026 World Cup. The first will be tomorrow against Slovakia and the second will be against Bulgaria on Tuesday. In their group in the qualifiers for the World Cup, there are several teams that could hinder Greece's chances of going to the World Cup; this is their group: Belarus, Scotland, and Denmark.

The Greece vs Slovakia match will be played at the Pagritio, located in the city of Heraklion, Greece. This stadium, inaugurated in 2004, has a capacity for 27,000  spectators.
