Greece could not afford to slip up against Latvia last weekend and they eventually recorded a 5-2 victory after struggling before the half-time break. Bayer Leverkusen attacker Theofanis Gekas was the man of the match with four goals.
"It was a good match for me, but what matters most is not my performance. I don't care about goals and records as long as the team wins," Gekas said to reporters.
"In the dressing room at half-time, we tried to encourage one another and we vowed to do everything in our power to turn the game around and get a play-off spot for the 2010 World Cup.
"It's very complicated for me and bad for my morale to be on the bench all the time at Leverkusen. Not playing regular club football makes me give my all for the national team."
Greece will be sure of at least finishing second in their World Cup qualification group if they beat Luxembourg on Wednesday and will qualify automatically if Switzerland also lose against Israel.
