Fresh from a morale-boosting win in Finland, their first under new boss Heimir Hallgrimsson, the Boys in Green go to Greece to face a much sterner challenge against the team which beat England
GREECE lightning struck for the fourth time as Tasos Bakasetas proved the matchwinner on an emotional night for the hosts at the Karaiskakis Stadium. The hosts recorded a clean sweep against the Boys in Green - back-to-back Nations League wins a year after they defeated Ireland home and away in the Euro 2024 qualifiers - on a night when they could have won even more comfortably, yet looked vulnerable at times of coughing up their advantage.
Bakasetas struck three minutes after half-time and then in injury-time Caoimhin Kelleher blotted his otherwise spotless copybook with a blunder to gift a goal to substitute Petros Mantalos. There were tears on the pitch and in the stands before kick-off, after Bakasetas’s opener and after the final whistle, as tributes were paid to the late Greece international George Baldock.
