He scored in the 10th minute of the match to make it 1-0, with the final score being 2-0. He was substituted in the 58th minute. <strong>Koulierakis<\/strong> and <strong>Tsingaras<\/strong> did not get any gametime. As for the next matches, Greece must beat <strong>Kazakhstan<\/strong> (21\/03\/2024) at home, and if they success they will then face an away tie (26\/03\/2023) in the qualifying final against the winner of the other play-off between <strong>Georgia<\/strong> and <strong>Luxembourg<\/strong>, which will also be held on 21\/03\/2024.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrija Zivkovic&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>Serbia<\/strong> qualified for the EURO 2024 finals for the first time in their history despite a tense 2-2 draw with <strong>Bulgaria<\/strong>, in which <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong> was a starter and was substituted after 76 minutes, as was <strong>Kiril Despodov,<\/strong> who scored in the 69th minute to make it 2 -1 to <strong>Bulgaria<\/strong>, while he also hit the woodwork in the 28th minute. As for <strong>Serbia&#8217;s<\/strong> friendly against <strong>Belgium<\/strong> (the <strong>Belgians<\/strong> won 1-0), <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong> came on in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Despodov<\/strong> had another good performance, in the 2-2 draw with Hungary (he also helped his team qualify for the EURO 2024 finals), as he was a starter, he recorded both a goal and an assist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poland<\/strong> finished their EURO 2024 qualifiers with a 1-1 draw against the <strong>Czech Republic<\/strong> and may be able to claim a place in the final stage via the <strong>Nations League play offs<\/strong>. Both in this game and in the friendly against <strong>Latvia<\/strong> (the <strong>Poles<\/strong> won 2-0), <strong>Tomas Kedziora<\/strong> did not play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ali Samatta<\/strong> recorded an assist for the only goal of <strong>Tanzania&#8217;s<\/strong> match against <strong>Niger<\/strong> for the <strong>2026 World Cup<\/strong> qualifiers. In the national team&#8217;s other game, this time against <strong>Morocco<\/strong>, (the <strong>Moroccans<\/strong> won 2-0), <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> forward came off the bench in the 55th minute.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Greece Under-21<\/strong> side claimed a great 2-1 victory over <strong>Portugal<\/strong> on Matchday 10 of the <strong>EURO 2025<\/strong> qualifiers, with <strong>Argyris Darelas<\/strong> in the starting XI and providing the assist to <strong>Tzolis<\/strong> to make it 1-1, and <strong>Panagiotis Panagiotou<\/strong> came on in the 64th minute. Our young internationals also defeated the <strong>Faroe Islands<\/strong> 3-0 with <strong>Dimitris Tsopouroglou<\/strong> starting for 45 minutes, <strong>Darelas<\/strong> playing 87 minutes, and <strong>Panagiotou<\/strong> coming on in the 69th minute.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Greece Under-19<\/strong> team which included six <strong>PAOK <\/strong>players (<strong>Tzimas, Goumas, Kottas, Kastidis, Filon, Deligiannis<\/strong>) in the squad were ranked third in its group, but finally qualified for the <strong>Elite Round<\/strong> of the <strong>European Championship<\/strong>. From the qualifying phase, the first two teams in the standings of each group qualified and only one best 3rd placed team out of the 13 groups of the qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the victory (2-1) over<strong> Lithuania,<\/strong> with a come=from-behind performance and a goal from <strong>Stefanos Tzimas<\/strong> from an assist by <strong>Konstantinos Goumas<\/strong>, <strong>Greece<\/strong> emerged as the best 3rd-placed team of all the groups, despite the two defeats it suffered against <strong>Turkey<\/strong> and <strong>Belarus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>And so, <strong>Greece&#8217;s Under-19&#8217;s<\/strong> will be in the draw on December 7 together with: <strong>Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey <\/strong>and <strong>Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Goals, assists, near misses, qualifications&#8230; The recent break in domestic and European club competition for the international fixtures in the qualifiers for the upcoming EURO 2024 tournament and the World Cup had a lot to offer the PAOK internationals.
