Defeat outside the schedule for the National Team of Hope! His team Nikos Papadopoulos defeated with 1-0 at its headquarters Belarus and the margins for taking 2nd place in the group in the Euro u21 qualifiers are getting too narrow.
Balanced the game throughout, with the “blue and white” not having on a good night certain players they would expect to… pull the paddle, as a result they have trouble creating. The first half was scoreless and saw plenty of marking on either side resulting in six yellow cards in total, with Greece seeing the Belarusians open the scoring in the 57th minute with a penalty Martynov.
Nikos Papadopoulos tried to change the image of his team and the game as a whole, intervening with his changes from the bench but he did not succeed, with the National team not having the face of its previous games.
And fatefully she suffered a bad defeat, which limits her chances of taking the 2nd place. Because Greece remains third, ousted at -2 by Croatia, which has two matches less and shows at the moment that it holds the hopes of qualification in its hands!
