It’s been a good half for the neutral in Glasgow, though home fans will be disappointed as they find themselves 2-0 down despite playing fairly well.
They started brightly and had good chances before Greece struck with two good goals to turn the tie on its head.
There’s a lot to do for the hosts to get ahead once more at Hampden.

Greece scorer Konstantinos Karetsas has become the youngest player ever to score in the Nations League, at 17 years and 124 days.
It was some finish from the youngster too.

The referee blows the whistle and the hosts find themselves behind 2-0 on the day, despite playing fairly well at several points!
Plenty to do in the second 45 then.

There’ll be just one minute of added time here as McGinn has a penalty appeal waved away before McTominay directs a tame header straight at the ‘keeper.

GOAL! This is a brilliant all-round goal.
The ball is slipped behind the defence for Giannoulis and he cuts it back perfectly to Konstantelias just on the edge of the box. He’s got the composure to look up at lay it off to Karetsas, who curls a lovely finish into the opposite top corner! What a finish.

The latest Greece attack ends in a shot blazed over from distance, and moments later Pavlidis tries once more with a similar result.
Scotland move forward on the counter and there are some lovely touches from Gilmour and McTominay, before Christie wastes the chance with a poor diagonal ball.

Plenty of action here in the middle of the park but neither side has been able to fashion a proper chance in the last few minutes. It’s a bit more stop-start at the moment as we approach half-time.

There’s already been a stoppage for a change of the ball and now there’s another as it seems it has burst. There’s a brief break in play back we’re back underway and immediately Scotland win it back, but it’s a poor cross in from Ralston.

Despite their dominance of the ball, Scotland have given Greece some dangerous counters in the last few minutes, with Tzolis at the centre of plenty. During his latest foray forward he narrowly misses out on linking well with Pavlidis.
At the other end, McGinn bursts into the box to get onto the end of a through ball, but he blasts his shot straight at Tzolakis.
