10-MAN GREECE ESCAPES WITH DRAW
10-man Greece fought Japan to a scoreless dray Thursday night in Natal. Both teams gained their first point in group C with the draw but Japan should have gotten three failing to capitalize on the 11-on-10 advantage after “Το Πειρατικό” captain Konstantinos Katsouranis was sent off on 38 minutes after getting two yellow cards for some stupid late challenges. Below is the current Group C standings.
