Vagiannidis starts, but Sporting full-back can't help Greece | OneFootball

In a friendly match between teams outside the final stage of the 2026 World Cup, Greece and Hungary could not go beyond a goalless draw in Budapest last Tuesday, March 31. Georgios Vagiannidis, Sporting full-back, started for the Greek side.

In the previous match, in the 1-0 home defeat to Paraguay, the Sporting number 13 came off the bench. It is worth noting that Fotis Ioannidis, the green-and-white forward who is usually called up, is still recovering from injury in Portugal.

As for the match itself, which was very evenly contested in every aspect, there were few scoring chances. However, the Hungarians were slightly more dangerous, also backed by their fans in the stands, although they were unable to break the deadlock.

With the international break now over, Vagiannidis returns to Portugal to prepare for the final stretch of the season. It should be remembered that the Lions are back in action this Friday, April 3, against Santa Clara. The match will count for the 28th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Georgios Vagiannidis - valued at €11 million - has played in 25 matches. The green-and-white full-back has played a total of 1,379 minutes, during which he has provided six assists for his teammates.
