Greece 2 Romania 0

First Published: Mar 29, 2000

Romania crashed to a 2-0 defeat in Athens with a tired performance.

The ability of players to raise their interest in friendly matches when the prizes of a season start to be decided has to be questioned and Greece used injury withdrawals to blood hungry youngsters keen to impress a home crowd.

Greece took the lead on the hour when a free kick by Grigoris Georgatos reached George Amanatidis who hit the ball first time low into the net.

AS Roma's Lambros Choutos finished the contest with an 88th minute header after a deep corner from Angelos Basinas.
