Match overview
Defending champions Czechoslovakia bounced back from their opening defeat to West Germany with a convincing 3-1 victory over Greece. Panenka’s early free-kick set the tone before Greece equalised through Anastopoulos. However, the holders’ class showed as Vízek and Nehoda sealed a vital win to keep their hopes alive.
Trivia
This match featured penalty hero Antonín Panenka, whose famous spot-kick technique had won Czechoslovakia the 1976 European Championship. The low attendance reflected the fact that Italy weren’t playing and highlighted the tournament’s struggle to capture public imagination outside of the host nation’s matches.
