Three days after the victory against England, Greece scored another victory against Ireland on Sunday (2-0) in the Nations League. Club Brugge's Christos Solis started for the Greek side and secured their fourth win in as many games this campaign.
Solis stood out with an assist from Anastasios Bakacetas just after the break (48th). The Bruges star gave way in the 82nd minute to Petros Mantelos who secured the victory for the Greeks in extra time (90 + 1).
Greece dominated Group B2 with a maximum of 12 points after England won in Finland in the evening (1-3). The English follow with 9 units, ahead of Ireland and their 3 points. Finland (0 points) brings up the rear. The clash between the Greeks and the Three Lions in Athens next month will be crucial in the race for direct promotion to League A.
Meanwhile, Austria dominated Norway (5-1) in Group B3. Hugo Vetlesen, who plays alongside Solis in Bruges, remained on the Norwegian bench throughout the match. Along with a quiet Erling Haaland, the Scandinavian honor was saved by ex-Gant player Alexander Zorloth (39). On the opposite side, Marko Arnautovic (8 in penalties, 49), Philipp Lienert (58), Stefan Posch (62) and Michael Grigoritch (71) added to the scoreboard.
Norway, Austria and Slovenia have 7 points each after 4 matches. Kazakhstan, who were defeated by the Slovenians in the evening, are in last place with 1 point.
