Poland 1-1 Greece: They both were on hand

Poland could not have started better Euro 2012 before their fans. The Franciszek Smuda faced the meeting with rhythm and verticality. The Greek behind was in distress. I could not go with the ball played from behind even though Polish pressure was not very pronounced. As a result, fifteen-minute barrage of local times. No need to combine too much, just find the gaps.

Because Greece made ​​clear that his biggest weakness is defense. The left wing of Holebas was a continuous hole through which Blaszczykowski percutían Piszczek and unopposed. And indeed it was for that band, the right of the Polish attack, from which a center impeccable Piszcek put your partner at Borussia Dortmund, Lewandowski, leading him to pleasure at the far post to put the 1-0. Great party tall striker, at least during the first half, giving his midfield options and continually struggling with central Greece.

At the stroke of half, Velasco Carballo expelled for a second yellow to center Sokratis. A totally inadequate decision that left almost lost the game for the whole Hellenic. In fact, he must have thought that Poland itself to have addressed the second part of a so relaxed and easygoing. Well, actually we must recognize that merit a sleep expert in Greece encounters, lowering their rate to be comfortable and thus take advantage of the quality of several of his players. The leader at the time of download speed is veteran Karagounis, who last night gave a recital of direction of play. He scored in what was at stake.

And in the second half was played at what Greece said. Fernando Santos made two fundamental changes to transform Greek. Ninis a retired unnoticed to usher in a Salpingidis which was erected as a protagonist with their arrivals to the area by surprise. Salpingidis signed the tying goal, scored one more goal that would subsequently ruled out for game and caused a penalty that would result in the expulsion of Szczesny, but immediately afterwards his replacement, Tyton, the launch would be correct Karagounis.

We also noticed the entrance of a missing young Fortounis by Gekas, Samaras going to be the reference above. Greece went on to have a more elaborate football and turned to fill Fortounis Pass luxury fellow alone in front of goal leaving Poland. To have the game completely downhill, Greece ended up forgiving his rival.
