Greece get Euro preparations off to good start

Greece, who sensationally won the 2004 Euro in Portugal, dominated the game in front of 22,000 fans.

 18-year-old talent Sotiris Ninis was the best player for his side and scored the opening goal in the fifth minute. Kostas Katsouranis scored the second on the hour from the penalty spot.

 Greek coach Otto Rehhagel gave six under-21 players a chance to play as several first team regulars were missing from the squad.

 Greece will be playing a friendly against Hungary in Budapest before embarking on a training camp in Germany. The team will travel to Austria on 3 June for the competition, where they will face Sweden, Russia and Spain in Group D.
