Greece's miserable run in the Euro 2020 qualifiers continued on Sunday when it was held to a 1-1 draw at home by a Liechtenstein side who had lost their previous five games in the group without scoring.

The debut of Dutch coach John van 't Schip on the Greece bench marked one more defeat for the national team, the third in succession, as the 1-0 loss to Finland on Thursday at Tampere leaves Greece all but out of the Euro 2020 finals.

Italy ran riot at the Greek defense in the first half to score three goals in 10 minutes and secure an easy 3-0 win in Athens on Saturday, against a deflated Greece that suffered its first loss at the Euro 2020 qualifiers.

PAOK and AEK will contest the Greek Cup final for the third year in a row as on Thursday they confirmed their supremacy over Asteras Tripolis and Lamia respectively to advance to the trophy game.

Asteras tried to overturn in Tripoli the 2-0 deficit from the first leg in Thessaloniki, and even had a good goal scored that the referee incorrectly disallowed for a foul.

PAOK has gone five points clear at the top of the Super League, as Olympiakos came from behind to end the unbeaten run of second-placed Atromitos in a spectacular match at Peristeri on Sunday. Champion AEK lost again.
