摘要：希腊队长卡楚拉尼斯（ Kostas Katsouranis）累积两张黄牌离场，扎切罗尼的球队以多打少难破僵局。

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

据外媒Goal.com网站6月20日报道，希腊在纳塔尔港迎战日本队，0比0战平的希腊在进球上仍未有所斩获，同组的哥伦比亚则确保晋级16强。

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.

虽然队长卡楚拉尼斯第38分钟累计黄牌离场，全队下半场都只能少一人应战，希腊还是在达斯邓斯球场让日本队哑了火，两队都拿到了本届世界杯的第一分。

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分钟，卡楚拉尼斯背后放倒了大迫勇也（Yuya Osako）吃到第一张黄牌。11分钟后，他又放倒了日本队长长谷部诚（Yuya Osako），累积两张黄牌离场。

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.

这场平局让两队目送哥伦比亚出线，后者刚2：1击败科特迪瓦，确保了1998年以来第一次晋级世界杯淘汰赛，目前哥伦比亚以6分领跑C组，小组赛还有一场比赛未踢。

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.

最耐人寻味的是，虽然奥林匹亚科斯防守型中场马尼亚蒂斯（Giannis Maniatis）在周三训练时与教练费尔南多·桑托斯（Fernando Santos）爆发了冲突并威胁要离开巴西世界杯，桑托斯仍然让他担任了首发。

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

马尼亚蒂斯仍然首发担任防守型中场，米特罗格卢（Kostas Mitroglou）和菲特法齐迪斯（Ioannis Fetfatzidis）则取代上一场的耶卡斯（Theofanis Gekas）和萨尔皮吉迪斯（Dimitris Salpigidis）出任首发。

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，主教练扎切罗尼大胆用大久保嘉人（Yoshito Okubo）取代香川真司出任首发，今野泰幸（Yasuyuki Konno）也在防守中场位置上取代森重真人（Masato Morishige）首发出场。
