Bloemfontein: Vassilis Torosidis scored Greece's winner as they beat Nigeria 2-1 to seal their first ever World Cup victory and keep alive their chances of progressing from Group B on Thursday.
Torosidis pounced in the 71st minute after Dimitris Salpingidis's first half strike had cancelled out a Kalu Uche freekick for Nigeria, who also had Sani Kaita sent off.
Greece's win puts them on three points with South Korea who earlier lost 4-1 to table-topping Argentina on Thursday, while Nigeria have no points from two games.
