Konstantinos Karetsos Shines in Greece’s Debut Match Against Scotland

Greece suffered a 1-0 defeat against Scotland in their first Nations League clash, but Konstantinos Karetsos stood out during his debut with the national team. The 17-year-old left Belgium behind to represent the country of his parents’ origins. Called up for the first time by Ivan Jovanovic, Karetsos was immediately given the chance to make his debut against Scotland. Despite being only 17 years old, this ‘wonderkid’ of European football made a significant impact in the second half. Although he couldn’t prevent Greece’s loss, the Genk winger showcased great potential for the future. In his first appearance with the national team, Karetsos achieved a 94% pass accuracy rate, attempted five shots on Scotland’s goal, and contributed significantly to Greece’s attacking phase. He revitalized the national team in the second half, altering their overall performance despite not securing a draw. Now, both the Greek national team and Karetsos will aim for redemption against Scotland.
