Greece will face hosts Portugal in the Euro 2004 soccer final after the rank outsiders beat the Czech Republic 1-0 with a silver goal from defender Traianos Dellas in extra time today.
It is the first major final for Greece, who had never won a game at a major tournament before coming to Portugal and were quoted at odds of 80-1 to win the title before it began.
However, they had stunned the hosts by beating them in the opening match and will now have a chance to repeat that feat at the Luz Stadium in Lisbon on Monday.
Greece battled for victory in the semifinal as they harried and harassed the Czechs throughout the match although the tactics led to a game based more on perspiration than inspiration.
