Norway held Greece to a 2-2 draw in their second Euro 2008 qualifier in Oslo on Wednesday evening. John Arne Riise and John Carew scored for Norway.

This means that Grrece still leads Group C, with Norway sharing second place with Turkey.

Sortiris Kyrgiakos gave the Greeks the lead twice in the first half, but Norway equalized after just a few minutes both times.

Riise scored the most beautiful goal of the evening, from 25 metres.

Norway pressed for a winning goal towards the end, but to no avail, despite several good chances.
