Australia beat Greece with late Leckie goal

AFP, SYDNEY: Newly-married Mathew Leckie scored with the last kick of the game to give Australia a 1-0 win over Greece in Sydney on Saturday.
The Socceroos dominated the friendly but could not convert that into goals before German-based substitute Leckie scored only his third goal in his 30th international deep into stoppage time.
Tim Cahill had a goal disallowed only minutes before when a corner was deemed to be crossed the line before the veteran Socceroo headed home and set off on a celebratory run, waving his shirt above his head.
It was only what the Australians deserved having dominated possession and chances against a Greek team, which missed out qualifying for this month’s Euro 2016 in France. “There is a lot of talk that I don’t score enough as a forward and I always try and keep it out of my mind and I would like to score more for the national team,” said Leckie, who got married this week.
“Lucky enough that I got one today and hopefully I can start a bit of momentum with goals.”
Karnezis came off worse after a heavy collision with Australia captain Mile Jedinak going for a high corner midway through the opening half, and was subsequently replaced by Stefanos Kapino.
