Euro 2008: Greece 1-2 Spain - second string see off champs

Daniel Guiza made sure Greece relinquished their European crown with a whimper last night.

The Majorca striker struck with two minutes to go to seal victory for Spain's second string.

Angelos Charisteas looked to have salvaged some pride for Greece when he brought this Group D dead rubber to life before the break.

But Getafe midfielder Ruben De la Red levelled on 61 minutes and Guiza then underlined the confidence running through the Spanish squad ahead of Sunday's quarter-final against Italy. English ref Howard Webb ignored Spanish appeals for a penalty in the first half after Andres Iniesta dived and booked Guiza for conceding a free-kick on the edge of his own box.

Giorgos Karagounis curled in the set-piece and Charisteas rose to head home the outgoing champs' first goal of the tournament.
