Greece 0-1 Russia: Having both seen their sides lose their opening games, the fans know avoiding defeat in Salzburg is essential

Greece almost score a very early goal when Denis Kolodin's slip puts Yannis Amanatidis through, but Igor Akinfeyev denies him

At the other end, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov fashions some space on the right-hand edge of the 18-yard box but his shot flies over the bar

Roman Pavlyuchenko tests Antonis Nikopolidis with a fine effort from the left-hand side of the area but the Greek stopper tips it over

The reigning champions almost take the lead but Angelos Charisteas (top) completely misses a header from an Angelos Basinas free-kick

He is made to pay for his profligacy in the 34th minute when Konstantin Zyryanov taps home from Sergei Semak's overhead kick

The goal rocks Greece and buoys Russia who take control of the remainder of the first half, with Pavlyuchenko continuing to threaten

Otto Rehhagel's side then lose Giourkas Seitaridis to injury and see replacement Giorgios Karagounis booked before the interval

Charisteas is gifted another chance soon after the break but his left-foot shot from seven yards is too weak to trouble Akinfeyev

A fine opportunity presents itself to Basinas but he can only lift a shot over the crossbar from the centre of the penalty area

Bilyaletdinov continues to look dangerous and has a couple of decent efforts that go close to doubling Russia's lead

Both sides have good chances to score but no further goals materialise, meaning that Rehhagel's team are out
