Greece vs Scotland Live Commentary in Extra Time: A Thrilling FIFA World Cup European Qualifying Match
The highly anticipated match between Greece and Scotland has entered extra time, with the score remaining knotted at 2-2. The Karaiskakis Stadium is electric as the Scottish fans cheer on their team, while the Greeks are counting on their never-say-die spirit to take them through to the next round.
As the clock ticks closer to the end of extra time, both teams have shown incredible resilience and determination. Greece's Andreas Kyriakos has just been booked for a reckless tackle, but they're not letting it faze them. Meanwhile, Scotland's Kevin Nisbet is struggling to contain the Greek attack, with striker Dimitris Melas looking particularly threatening.
The first half of extra time has seen very little action, with both teams feeling each other out and trying to find an opening. The tension is palpable as the crowd waits on the edge of their seats for a breakthrough. And then, just as it seems like the match might be heading for a stalemate, Greece's Panagiotis Triantafyllou unleashes a powerful shot that Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall manages to deflect.
The game is far from over, and both teams are showing incredible heart and grit. The Scots are starting to tire, however, and Greece is sensing blood. With 10 minutes remaining in extra time, Melas has just been denied a clear-cut chance by an outstanding save from Marshall. This could be the decisive moment in the match.
The final whistle is fast approaching, but neither team is willing to give up. In the last minute of extra time, Greece's Konstantinos Tsimikas unleashes a shot that forces Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall into an acrobatic save. The match is still alive, and it's anyone's game.
And then, in the 94th minute, it happens. A long-range shot from Greece's Panagiotis Triantafyllou beats Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall, sending the Karaiskakis Stadium erupting in joy. Greece has won 3-2 in extra time, booking their spot in the next round of the FIFA World Cup European Qualifying Group C.

Greece just pulled off an insane comeback!! I was literally on the edge of my seat during that last 10 minutes, Scotland thought they had it in the bag but Greece's never-say-die spirit got 'em through 
And Triantafyllou's goal at the end was pure MAGIC 
David Marshall is a total LEGEND for his save in the last minute too 
Can't wait to see what the rest of the tournament has in store! 
i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, both teams were giving it their all but greece's spirit won out in the end! 
they deserve that win after coming back from 2-1 down 
it's gonna be an amazing rest of the tournament with these two teams competing 
The way he saved those shots was insane! 
Triantafyllou is a total hero right now 
️

! Like, who saw that coming? Greece just pulled off the ultimate comeback and Scotland's fans are having a total meltdown 
and BAM! Instant winner! I'm living for this underdog story, though - Greece's "never-say-die" spirit is totally on point 
... it's not just about winning or losing, it's about the journey, the struggle, the human spirit 
. Scotland's defense was way better than I thought they'd be and they definitely deserved that win, but noooo, Greece had to go and pull off some crazy comeback magic! 
and I think that's exactly what the Greek team showed today! They didn't give up even when things seemed bleak, and it paid off in the end. It's not just about winning, but about showing heart and never giving up on your dreams. The Scottish team played a great game too, but sometimes you've got to tip your hat to the other guy who came out on top!
! Scotland was giving it their all but couldn't keep up with the Greeks' never-say-die spirit 
and his goal was insane 
and that final shot by triantafyllou just sealed the deal 
i mean who needs skill when you've got determination and heart? 
Greece is going to the next round 
Triantafyllou's shot in extra time was pure magic 
Greece's never-say-die spirit is just the best 
David Marshall did an amazing job with those saves tho 
extra time is always a thriller 
. Can't wait to see how the rest of the World Cup Qualifying Group C unfolds! 
. That last minute shot from Triantafyllou was a bit lucky if you ask me 
That Greek team is always good for an upset 
. On the other hand, Scotland just needs to regroup and come back stronger 
. But congrats to Greece, I guess? 
. The Scottish fans must be devastated 
. I think this win is gonna give Greece some serious momentum going into the next round 
! Greece's never-say-die spirit is REAL 
! Greece is going to the next round and I COULDN'T BE MORE PUMPED
