She deserved to win, but she wronged herself National Hope! His team Nikos Papadopoulos was superior and wasted the many phases it created, caused defensive problems and finally escaped in the final the home defeat (2-2) by Croatian.
THE Kutsias “redeemed” in the final the “blue and white”, who failed to get the three points in “Theodoros Kolokotronis” for the 3rd matchday of the Euro u21 qualifiers, but in a few days they will travel to Portugal for a positive result that will keep them on track … dyad.
Not at all superior Nationalhaving 17 finals, of which 11 at home, while she also won 11 corners, but it stayed at 2-2 which is clearly unfair to her!
THE Hellas entered the match furiously and opened the scoring in the 11th minute. A goal that came from Niarchos’ turn from the right, with Koutsia finding the ball just right and essentially laying it on the oncoming Surly, who made it 1-0 with a perfect placement. Nevertheless, the Croatian response was immediate, with Hodja in the 23rd minute from close range to equalize at 1-1. The game had a great pace, the ball going up and down, with the “blue and white” having more classic moments to take the lead, both before half-time and in the second half.

Koutsias, Sourlis it was the footballers who aggressively pulled his team Nikos Papadopoulos, which also had many static phases, which went unexploited. Something they paid for in 67′, after o Ljubitzic after a full-time phase and continuous inactions in the Greek defense, he managed to bring… the score overturned (1-2).
