Greece end Cote d’Ivoire’s World Cup dream

Georgios Samaras scored an injury-time penalty to put Greece into the second round of the World Cup with a 2-1 win over Cote d’Ivoire.
Samaras was adjudged to have been brought down by substitute Giovanni Sio and Samaras calmly slotted in the spot kick for the win that puts Greece through to the knockout stage.
Cote d’Ivoire would have advanced with a draw.
Substitute Wilfried Bony had equalized for Ivory Coast in the 74th, beating goalkeeper Pangiotis Glykos from close range after being set up by Gervinho.
The Greeks had taken the lead just before halftime through substitute Andreas Samaris.
Veteran striker, Didier Drogba, started for Cote d’Ivoire along with Yaya and Kolo Toure despite the recent death of their brother, Ibrahim.
The Ivorians wore black armbands as a sign of mourning.
