Greece beats Australia 2-1 in Melbourne friendly

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) " Giannis Maniatis' spectacular 60-meter goal proved decisive as Greece
beat Australia 2-1 in a friendly in Melbourne on Tuesday, three days after losing 1-0 to the Socceroos
in Sydney.
Petros Mantalos opened the scoring after an Australian turnover and Maniatis made it 2-0 in the
21st when he swooped on another error from the home team and calmly lobbed from well behind
halfway and over the head of Australia goalkeeper Adam Federici, who was far off his line.
Trent Sainsbury pounced on Tim Cahill's deflected header from a corner in the second half but
otherwise the hosts struggled to break through the Greece defense.
