Ethniki cleared the game from the first half, when he took the lead in minute 32 with Costas Fortounis, who scored the second goal assisting Bacaceta in minute 41 for the final 0-2. Greece had chances for at least one more goal and can optimistically focus on the final Nations League game.
START WITH POSSESSION AND SOVEREIGNTY OF THE BALL
Greece started from the beginning of the game showing exactly what it wants to do. Take control of the game from the first minutes and never let Moldova believe that it can threaten. He succeeded, as the Van Sip players had the ball at their feet and were circulating.
However, until at least 30 ‘, Greece encountered problems in creation. Moldova successfully closed the facilities and hindered our internationals. The most important opportunity came in the 11th minute, when Bacacetas found Fortounis in the area, with the Olympiacos player setting up, but the Moldovan goalkeeper subtracting.
FORTOUNIS BROKEN GORDIO LINKAGE, BACETAS WIDES THE SCORE
The solution to the problems that had been presented to the Nacional was given by Costas Fortounis in the ideal way. The 28-year-old Atletico footballer fired a shot outside the area, leaving no room for reaction in Namasco, scoring a terrible 0-1 goal for Greece in the 32nd minute.
From there, things got simpler. Nacional continued their high pressure rhythm, thus exhausting the Moldovans and the second goal was not long in coming. In minute 42, Fortounis, who returned to be the protagonist, from the left of the area, saw Bacaceta follow and scored the 0-2 for our representative team from the height of the penalty.
Greece could celebrate another goal before the break. Tsimikas made a fantastic play in the 43rd minute, but this time Namasco had a response and drove into a corner.
LOWER PACKAGE IN PART B
The start of the second half was clearly calmer in terms of pace. Greece remained in control of the game, with the exception that Moldova was pushing a bit more than in the first half. In 54 Nacional he had the opportunity to score, with Bacaceta and Fortounis working together again. The scorer of the first goal, however, failed to place Namasco. In the 59th minute, Moldova threatened with a shot from Kaimakov, which stopped at the bodies. This was the first time in the game that the hosts looked somewhat dangerous in an enduring phase.
FRESH BY FAN SIP
Greece was in full control of the game with a two goal lead. John Van Sipp at this point in the match had in mind the crucial match against Slovenia in Rizoupoli and so made changes to refresh the players. Specifically, in the 62nd minute, Tsimikas went to Kyriakopoulos, while three minutes later, the protagonist Fortounis left his place to Tzolis.
Shortly before the 80 ‘and with Ethniki maintaining control, Hatzigiovanis and Giakoumakis passed in place of Limnios and Pavlidis. Indeed, the Fenlo forward missed an opportunity in the 81st minute when he failed to beat Namasco in four quarters. Giakoumakis had another good moment before the end, but the Moldovan goalkeeper beat him again, with the result that the 0-2 did not change until the last whistle.
