Olympic football tables

The hosts Greece battled back from 2-0 down in their opening Group A game against South Korea to draw 2-2.

Dong Jin Kim and Loukas Vyntra put the visitors ahead and with 12 minutes remaining they appeared to be on track for a famous win.

But late goals from Ioannis Taralidis and Dimitrios Papadopoulos, with a controversial penalty, got the home side back on terms.

In the other Group A encounter, outsiders Mali held Mexico to a 0-0 draw, while Group C rivals Tunisia and Australia shared a 1-1 draw.
