#GREvsCIV! final Scores 2-1 Greece’s Late Penalty Knocks Ivory Coast Out Of World Cup!



Greece converted a stoppage-time penalty to beat the Ivory Coast 2-1 and advance to the knockout stage of the 2014 World Cup in

dramatic fashion.
It’s absolutely brutal for the Ivory Coast. They would have advanced with a 1-1 draw, all they had to do was waste 180 more seconds.
Instead, in the 91st minute, Ivorian defender Giovanni Sio clipped Georgios Samaras’s foot with his knee and brought him to the box.
It’s probably the right call, but it’s a harsh way to give up a penalty. There was no way Samaras would have scored this from the edge of the penalty box.
