Greece made it three wins out of three when they beat Moldova 3-0 in their World Cup Group 2 qualifying match at the Karaiskakis Stadium yesterday.

Two goals from Angelos Charisteas and one from Konstantinos Katsouranis put Greece top of the group with a maximum nine points before the former European champions host Switzerland on Wednesday.

Charisteas put them ahead after 32 minutes when he drifted wide and unmarked at a free-kick to collect the ball and fire past Nicolai Calancea in the Moldova goal.

Eight minutes later Fanis Gekas laid on a pass for Katsouranis who produced a stunning shot from outside the area that flew into the top corner.

Charisteas put the result beyond doubt six minutes into the second half when he pounced on a defensive slip to make it 3-0.
