摘要：希臘隊長卡楚拉尼斯（ Kostas Katsouranis）累積兩張黃牌離場，扎切羅尼的球隊以多打少難破僵局。

Greece held on for a scoreless draw against Japan in Natal on Thursday, ensuring Colombia will play in the round of 16 in Brazil.

據外媒Goal.com網站6月20日報道，希臘在納塔爾港迎戰日本隊，0比0戰平的希臘在進球上仍未有所斬獲，同組的哥倫比亞則確保晉級16強。

Despite playing the entire second half with one less player, after skipper Kostas Katsouranis was expelled seven minutes before half-time, Greece denied the misfiring Japanese at the Arena das Dunas as both teams picked up their first points of the World Cup.

雖然隊長卡楚拉尼斯第38分鐘累計黃牌離場，全隊下半場都只能少一人應戰，希臘還是在達斯鄧斯球場讓日本隊啞了火，兩隊都拿到了本屆世界杯的第一分。

Katsouranis went into the book for the first time in the 27th minute when he slid into the back of Yuya Osako and his trip to halt Japan captain Makoto Hasebe's break 11 minutes later was the end of his match.

第27分鐘，卡楚拉尼斯背后放倒了大迫勇也（Yuya Osako）吃到第一張黃牌。11分鐘后，他又放倒了日本隊長長谷部誠（Yuya Osako），累積兩張黃牌離場。

The draw saw Colombia, who had defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 earlier on Thursday, secure a berth in the knockout stages at their first World Cup since 1998, as they lead Group C with six points with one game to play.

這場平局讓兩隊目送哥倫比亞出線，后者剛2：1擊敗科特迪瓦，確保了1998年以來第一次晉級世界杯淘汰賽，目前哥倫比亞以6分領跑C組，小組賽還有一場比賽未踢。

The most intriguing selection for Greece was not a change with coach Fernando Santos sticking with Giannis Maniatis despite the Olympiacos defensive midfielder having threatened to leave Brazil on Wednesday after a training ground argument.

最耐人尋味的是，雖然奧林匹亞科斯防守型中場馬尼亞蒂斯（Giannis Maniatis）在周三訓練時與教練費爾南多·桑托斯（Fernando Santos）爆發了沖突并威脅要離開巴西世界杯，桑托斯仍然讓他擔任了首發。

Maniatis retained his spot in defensive midfield, while Kostas Mitroglou and Ioannis Fetfatzidis replaced Theofanis Gekas and Dimitris Salpigidis respectively.

馬尼亞蒂斯仍然首發擔任防守型中場，米特羅格盧（Kostas Mitroglou）和菲特法齊迪斯（Ioannis Fetfatzidis）則取代上一場的耶卡斯（Theofanis Gekas）和薩爾皮吉迪斯（Dimitris Salpigidis）出任首發。

Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni made the brave decision of dropping Shinji Kagawa for Yoshito Okubo, while Yasuyuki Konno took Masato Morishige's spot in central defence.

日本方面，主教練扎切羅尼大膽用大久保嘉人（Yoshito Okubo）取代香川真司出任首發，今野泰幸（Yasuyuki Konno）也在防守中場位置上取代森重真人（Masato Morishige）首發出場。
