PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) -Switzerland held Greece to a 0-0 draw in a friendly match on Wednesday that saw few scoring chances.

Ricardo Rodriguez almost broke the deadlock with nine minutes remaining at Karaiskaki Stadium, but Greece goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis blocked his long-range shot.

Switzerland's Johan Djourou had a goal disallowed in the 34th minute, while Costas Mitroglou missed two first-half headers for Greece.

Deputy captain Costas Katsouranis made his 100th appearance for Greece.
