  Kostas Chalkias

  Looked crushed as he was subbed after 20 minutes but he was twice inches away from denying Czech's goals. Close is not good enough, though.

  Giannis Maniatis

  Felt rather uncomfortable in the middle of the pitch and played mostly safe passes, at least playing better defensively in the second half.

  Kyriakos Papadopoulos

  Nervous performance from Greek youngster, as he failed to keep Pilar's away from scoring and getting himself a booking for dangerous challenge.

  Vasilis Torosidis

  Apart from needless foul on Pilar for which he was given yellow card, he was the only threat with his precise crossing - from one of them Salpingidis should have scored.

  Jose Holebas

  Olympiacos defender had a nightmare, as Gebre Selassie and Jiracek again and again exposed his poor positioning in the first half.

  Giorgos Karagounis

  Looked lost in the middle and failed to calm his troops down when they struggled the most in the first half.

  Giorgos Fotakis

  Subbed at halftime, he cannot have any complains. Anonymous and failed to provide any danger from the wide positions.

  Kostas Katsouranis

  Woeful evening for him as well. Despite his experience, he looked lost at the center back where he had to step in because of suspensions and injuries in his Greek team.

  Georgios Samaras

  Introduction of Gekas allowed him to play deeper and he provided an assists for Gekas goal. However, the Celtic front man failed to provide any danger himself.

  Dimitris Salpingidis

  Caught offside three times even before half time, he should be given a goal when he headed ball into the net at the end of the first half.

  Konstantinos Fortounis

  Very average performance as Greek midfielder was easily run past by Jiracek couple of times. Surprisingly, kept on the pitch for more than an hour.

  Michalis Sifakis

  Tested straight away after replacing Chalkias, he did much better than his teammate, denying Rosicky.

  Theofanis Gekas

  Took advantage of Cech's mistake as confused Kadlec and Sivok with his movement between them.

  Konstantinos Mitroglou

  Introduced as fourth striker, he failed to make advantage in the final third count in the little time he was given.

  Petr Cech Flop of the Match

  Awful mistake for Gekas' goal where he fumbled disastrously to give the Greeks a goal.

  Theodor Gebre Selassie

  Not afraid to go forward, the Czech right back provided an assist to the second goal and suppressed any danger on his own half.

  Michal Kadlec

  He played much better than against Russia and won many important tackles in own box, without making mistake.

  Tomas Sivok

  Cech had a lot of complains over his positioning for the first goal but Besiktas' defender won most of his headers and was calm throughout the evening.

  Tomas Rosicky

  His vision and movement were particularly brilliant as Czech Gooner took advantage of every gap he saw in Greek back line. He was subbed at halftime, possibly because of the needless yellow he was shown.

  Václav Pilař

  He went into the game with great confidence, drifting inside from left wing - exactly like for the second goal. Faded away in the second half.

  Great performance from Czech's defensive midfielder, as he provided a great through pass for the first goal and stopped Greece attacks several times.

  Petr Jirácek Top of the Match

  Wolfsburg's midfielder noted brilliant game, dribbling past Greeks easily even on his own half, while the fine finish for the first goal only adds to his performance.

  His start in the second half was fairly decent one but then he faded away and rarely kept up to the standards set up by Rosicky.

  Tried to win as many balls and hold them up but rarely was given the chance to do so.
