Greece held by Ukraine

Greece and Ukraine are at stalemate after a goalless draw in the first leg of their World Cup qualification play-off.
The second leg in Kiev next Wednesday will decide which team progresses to South Africa but on this performance neither side has particularly strong claims to involvement in world football's most celebrated competition.
The Athens crowd were on very short commons, with only a Theofanis Gekas header threatening a goal for the home side in the first half.
Ukraine's attacking intent was similarly limited and they will be happy with a draw, particularly after Sotiris Kyrgiakos headed wide in added time.
An industrious if unengaging first half saw chances at a premium. The away side's best opportunity of the first period was wasted on 19 minutes when Ruslan Rotan shot wide from the edge of the area.
Ukraine might have been handed the opportunity to take the lead from the penalty spot though had the referee thought ill of a clumsy challenge by Kyrgiakos as Rotan's cross threatened to reach Artem Milevsky.
For all the sporadic promptings of winger Dimitris Salpigidis and the menace of striker Gekas, the home side had even less to shout about - at least until a minute before half-time.
Then the 10-goal top scorer in World Cup qualification 2010 almost had another goal to his tally but his header from Giorgos Karagounis's free-kick was clutched low to his right by Andriy Pyatov.
Pyatov's opposite number, Alexandros Tzorvas, was a virtual spectator until the 68th minute when a fiercely struck shot by Taras Mykhalyk required the keeper to paw the ball away.
Greece coach Otto Rehaggel replaced Gekas with Angelos Charisteas midway through the half but the change did little to alter the pattern of the game.
Arguably the closest Ukraine came to scoring was when the Greek goalkeeper Tzorvas let a backpass roll under his foot. Fortunately for the home side he was not stood between the posts when it happened.
Giorgios Samaras shot narrowly over the bar in the closing stages, while Kyrgiakos should have done much better than head wide in added time but the thought that these two teams will do it all again in five days' time will excite very few.
