European Champions Stunned After Swedish Defeat
The European Champions Greece have been defeated in their opening fixture of the Euro 2008. Sweden stunned the defending champions with a brilliant display of talent and flare.
Sweden managed two score two goals in the second half, and the solid Greek defence from Euro 2004 was nowhere to be seen.
Ibrahimovic put Sweden on the scoreboard in the 67th with a blistering goal, which Nikopolidis could not stop. To make things worse for the Greeks, 5 minutes later the Swedish managed to score again, with a goal that was nothing compared to the first. Sweden take charge of Group D, with the defending champions Greece sitting right at the bottom.
