Ireland slip to 2-0 defeat in GreeceBy Damian Spellman, PA, PiraeusCaoimhin Kelleher went from hero to villain as the Republic of Ireland slipped to a 2-0 Nations League defeat in Greece. On an emotional night, the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium fell silent ahead of kick-off as both teams paid tribute to Greece defender George Baldock following his death at the age of 31. Nathan Collins blocked another Pavlidis shot after Tzolis had cleverly flicked the ball into his path with Ireland coming under intense pressure but remaining stubbornly resilient. Ireland found themselves under the cosh with Greece sensing an opportunity to kill the game off and Tzolis scuffed wide from a promising position. But the contest was over when Kelleher presented the ball to Mantalos, who rounded him before firing into the empty net.
