Scotland took a first leg lead on Greece in the League of Nations thanks to a penalty from Scott Mctuminay in Athens.
Napoli midfielder swept away in the net after being brought back while Scotland led the first half.
But Greece was much more dangerous after the break, while the 17 -year -old Genk striker Konstantinos Karetsans came and stole the series.

Steve Clarke’s team resisted the relentless pressure of the Greeks who hit the woodwork, although the Craig Gordon goalkeeper was not called to make too much backup.
Scotland can be confident to go to the leg back to Hampden Park on Sunday where they seek to stay in League A, while Greece seeks to leave League B.
There was a late drama when Grant Hanley won the fountains of a substitute taxiarchis on the edge of the box and the referee pointed out the point – but then changed their free kick reviews just outside the area.
Elsewhere, Ukraine took a 3-1 advance on Belgium, Turkey beat Hungary 3-1 and a Matt Doherty header gave the Republic of Ireland a 2-1 victory in Bulgaria.
