Own goal undoes Greece

Poland 1-0 Greece
Greece fell to defeat in Szczecin in their penultimate UEFA EURO 2004™ friendly as they struggled just two weeks before playing in the opening game against Portugal.

Trio out
Without injured striker Demis Nikolaidis - who is set to retire after the summer tournament after taking over former club AEK Athens FC - and fellow forwards Zisis Vryzas and Angelos Charisteas due to club commitments, Greece were shorn of much of their usual bite up front.

Own goal
Mihalis Kapsis put through his own goal on 16 minutes after a mix-up with goalkeeper Antonios Nikopolidis under pressure from a long-range Jacek Krzynowek free-kick. Greece came close three minutes later but Vassilis Lakis found his shot blocked.

Boruc impresses
Poland dominated for the rest of the first half, but could not extend their lead. After the break Greece improved, but Poland goalkeeper Artur Boruc - a replacement for Jerzy Dudek - kept them out. 
 
Vaduz visit
Otto Rehhagel's side visit Liechtenstein for their final warm-up on 3 June before meeting Portugal in the showpiece game in Porto nine days later.
