Greece defeated England 2-1 in their UEFA Nations League clash at Wembley Stadium on Thursday night. This notable win came after the passing of Greek international George Baldock.
In addition to holding a moment of silence for the British-born Baldock before kick-off, the Greek team paid tribute to him after both goals were scored. “It was a very special day and match for us. Our thoughts are with George,” Vangelis Pavlidis, who scored both goals, commented. “We are professionals and had to play the match. We gave our soul for him tonight. Today is not a day to talk about football. He was part of our team. We will miss him very much.”
Baldock earned 12 international caps for Greece. With this valuable win, Greece is on top of Group 2 in League B with three wins out of three. England trails in second place with two wins from their first three matches.
