England, finalist of Euro 2024, suffered an unexpected 2-1 defeat against Greece at Wembley, this Thursday in a match in the second division of the Nations League, conceding a second goal in extra time.
Greece, threatening at the top and hard at the back, leaves London with the first victory in its history against the Three Lions, thanks mainly to a double from its striker Vangelis Pavlidis (49 and 90+4).
Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham had equalized in the final stretch (87) with a powerful shot that Newcastle substitute goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos was unable to clear.
In the classification, in a division in which the objective is to ascend to the elite to be able to play for the Nations League title, Greece is the leader of group 2 with nine points ahead of England (6), Ireland (3) and Finland (0).
