Greece secured a 3-2 victory over Scotland in World Cup qualifying on 15 November, with the hosts' attacking intensity proving decisive in a competitive encounter. Operating in a 4-2-3-1 formation, Greece dominated the shot count with 18 attempts to Scotland's 12, translating their pressure into clinical finishing. The hosts generated 2.78 expected goals and converted at a higher rate, whilst Scotland's xG of 1.47 reflected their more limited opportunities despite registering six shots on target. Scotland's goalkeeper kept the deficit manageable with a 66.67 per cent save rate, denying what would have been a more comprehensive defeat. Both sides deployed identical 4-2-3-1 structures, but Greece's superior shot volume and accuracy in the final third separated the teams. Referee Jesus Gil Manzano oversaw a straightforward contest without notable controversy. Scotland's inability to match Greece's offensive output leaves their qualifying campaign under pressure.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
