The Czech Republic recovered from their opening day thumping by Russia to take all three points in a tight game against Greece on Tuesday night in Wroclaw. Having raced into a two-goal lead by half-time thanks to goals from Petr Jiracek and Vaclav Pilar, Greece pulled one back in the second half when Theofanis Gekas capitalised on a Petr Cech error. However, the Czechs stood firm and were able to hold on for their first points of the tournament.
Greece (4-3-3): Kostas Chalkias (Michalis Sifakis, 23); Vasilis Torosidis, Kyriakos Papadopoulos, Kostas Katsouranis, Jose Holebas; Georgios Fotakis (Theofanis Gekas, 45), Ioannis Maniatis, Giorgos Karagounis; Dimitris Salpigidis, Georgios Samaras, Kostas Fortounis (Kostas Mitroglu, 71).
Bookings: Vasilis Torosidis (34), Kyriakos Papadapoulos (56), Dimitris Salpigidis (57).
