Greece held to a draw by North Korea

Greece were held to a 2-2 draw by fellow World Cup combatants North Korea in Altach, Austria.

Kostas Katsouranis opened up the scoring in the 2nd minute before Jong-Tae Se equalised in the 24th in the World Cup warm-up match.

Greek veteran Angelos Charisteas then put his side ahead four minutes after half-time before Jong again equalised three minutes later.

It was a solid hit-out for both sides who are preparing at altitude for the World Cup finals in South Africa with Greece facing Argentina, Nigeria and Korea Republic in Group B and North Korea taking on Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal in Group G.
