Greece have qualified for the Euro 2012 quarter-finals with a stunning 1-0 upset of Russia, eliminating their opponents in the process.
Giorgios Karagounis scored the game s only goal in the last play of the first half, tucking an opportunistic strike under Russia custodian Vyacheslav Malafeev after some sloppy Russian defence.
Dick Advocaat s men pushed for an equaliser for the majority of the second half, however it was Greece that literally came closest, with a free kick denied by the woodwork.
Russia s best chance came from their top scorer at the tournament Alan Dzagoev who got on the end of an Andriy Arshavin cross, but his glancing header went just wide of Michalis Sifakis far post.

Tonight is the night that will complete the official line-up for UEFA Euro 2021. While 20 nations have already been able to book their place in next summer s international showpiece event, there are eight national teams out there who are attempting to make history of their own: Hungary, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Serbia, Scotland, Georgia and North Macedonia.
Right now the betting favourites to win the Euros next year are England with odds of 11/2 via . Alas, these four games are about a whole lot more than winning the tournament because simply qualifying is a huge statement of intent.

Leicester did not have much to shout about during the season, but their 4-0 win at Wolves in October was a rare day in the sun. And it all started with a special goal from Youri Tielemans, who spanked a clearance into the top corner from 20 yards.

Everton earned one of the biggest shocks of the season when they stole a point in a 1-1 draw at Manchester City on New Year’s Eve. And Demarai Gray’s goal was worthy of it as he curled in to the top corner from the angle of the penalty area.

When the players of Coventry United were told training had been cancelled and they should join an online meeting with the club’s directors at 10am two days before Christmas, they had little idea about what was to follow. Sitting one place off the bottom on goal difference, the Championship side had been struggling, but why call this meeting now?
The reality was far worse than anything they could have imagined. Also on the call were accountants from BK Plus, who had been instructed to assist the formal process of putting the club into voluntary liquidation.

Aaron Ramsdale hailed the removal of a “mental block” after Arsenal ended their long losing run against Manchester City with a shootout win in the Community Shield.
Arsenal had lost all three meetings with last season’s title rivals but snatched victory from the jaws of defeat when Leandro Trossard cancelled out Cole Palmer’s goal in the 11th minute of added time. Ramsdale was pivotal to their 4-1 shootout win, saving from Rodri, and said the psychological barrier that has dogged them has now disappeared.
