Goals : Nuno Gomes 75 - Georgos Karagounis 33, 59

Midfielder Georgos Karagounis struck twice to give European champions Greece a 2-1 win over Portugal in a friendly on Wednesday.

Greece, who beat Portugal 1-0 in the Euro 2004 final in Lisbon, went ahead when the former Benfica player lashed home a stunning 20-metre free kick after 33 minutes.

Karagounis made it 2-0 from another 20-metre free kick 26 minutes later.

Portugal, without Deco, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Jorge Andrade, piled on the pressure and were rewarded when striker Nuno Gomes tapped in after good work by substitute Hugo Almeida in the 75th minute.

The Portuguese face Switzerland, Turkey and Czech Republic in Euro 2008 Group A while Greece are in Group D with Spain, Russia and Sweden.
