Greece's National Team defeated Italy with a score of 75-66 in their opening game of Group C in EuroBasket 2025, thanks to their excellent defense and Giannis Antetokounmpo's performance.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was crucial in offense, while Dinos Mitoglou contributed significantly in the second half. The defensive work of Papanikolaou and Thanasis Antetokounmpo on Simone Fontecchio was also important.

Greece faces Cyprus on 30/8 at 18:15, with the support of the crowd at the "Spyros Kyprianou" in Lemesos.

Fontecchio scored for the first time with 3:55 left, as Greece showed character.
