SALZBURG, June 18 (Reuters) - Departing European champions Greece lost their third game out of three when they were beaten 2-1 by Group D winners Spain at Euro 2008 on Wednesday.
Striker Angelos Haristeas opened the scoring for Greece with a header in the 42nd minute, his team's first goal of the tournament, but Spain equalised in the 61st through Ruben de la Red and took victory with a Daniel Guiza goal two minutes from time.
Greece, surprise winners of Euro 2004 in Portugal, had lost their first two group games without scoring.
Spain, already sure of their quarter-final place and playing a largely reserve side, meet Italy in the last eight in Vienna on Sunday.
