Georgia eliminates Greece and completes Portugal's group in Euro 2024 :: Zerozero.pt

Portugal's latest opponent in the Euro 2024 group stage has been confirmed! In a match that was decided by penalty kicks only, Georgia defeated Greece (0-0, 4-3c) They secured their place in Europe's largest national team tournament for the first time in its history.

Balanced and devoid of great opportunities for the scorer to appear, it was not a big surprise that the match ended in a goalless draw in the first half, as a result of the weak ability of the two teams to get the ball to each other’s goal.

In the second stage, the Greeks grew and began to bear a large part of the expenses, but the result continued to maintain itself to the point that extra time was the only solution.

During this period, Greece maintained this trend, and finally the opportunities really appeared. Mavropanos headed the ball against the crossbar of the Georgian goal. Shortly afterwards, Lazarus Rota got his foot into an advantageous position, but the ball went too high for Mamardashvili's relief.

The moments of shock awakened Georgia's response, and had it not been for Vlachodimos, Zoriko Davitashvili would have become a national hero with Chakvetadze's pass, just like Tsitishvili who is able to overcome many opponents before crashing into the Greek wall.

In the penalty shootout, Bakasetas and Giakoumakis failed to convert both, and Mikautadze still failed at Georgia's expense, but Nika Kvekveskiri did not flinch in the most important moment in Georgian football and sealed his team's ticket.
