U-21 NT (Elpidon)

[Antaeus7]

So far in the first leg, Austria appears to play better than Greece. They came so close to taking the lead after a shot hits the post. 

[Antaeus7]

Greece 0-0 Austria Halftime

[Antaeus7]

Greece 0-1 Austria Final

Anyone watch the game? Poor result... I was confident we would win

[Ellada2004]

Tough result, Austria scored in the 84th minute.

[kbxk508]

Yeah, I saw the game. 

Νικοπολίδης played a 4 2 3 1 with Ανδρούτσο in the striker position and left on the bench more classic forwards Καμπετσής and Κωτσόπουλος. I think that decision he would regret, as Greece had most of the possession but lacked a cutting edge in front of goal. Austria started well and had better chances in first 30 mins, but Greece controlled the ball and kind of dominated the match until the last 5 mins when Austria scored.

Although Greece had most of the possession (65%), Austria had more attempts on goal 13 vs 8. Greece played a lot of back passes and I got the feeling Νικοπολίδης was playing for 1-0 win. Main objective was not to concede at home, but it backfired in the end.

Thanks dude, highlights did not look good at all... that’s disappointing

Beat SAN Marino Euro 5-0, U 21 qualifiers.

[Bardouuu]

Am I reading this correctly? Greece won 8 games tied one and lost one , and were tied with Croatia in points for qualifying but they don’t go to the euro?

[Bardouuu]

I am so confused

[Brklyngrk]

If I remember correctly, we lost on tie breakers for 1st place.  Don't remember if there was a knockout "playoff" game afterwards.

[Blackhawk]

The game was for the 2021 U21 Euro qualifying. Not for the 2019 Euro U21 competition.

[Bardouuu]

And the groups are identical?

[Blackhawk]

Not quite identical. Only four of the teams are same.
