“Historic Euro shock” - international media writes about the success of the Georgian national team

The international media writes about the victory of the Georgian national team against Portugal at the European Championship.

“Georgia made history and reached their first major tournament knockout stage with victory over Portugal at Euro 2024. Georgia averaged the lowest possession of any team in Euro qualifying, but they did the job and made it to the finals. They lacked possession against Portugal but did what was required - and did it in style”, - writes BBC.

“Georgia caused the biggest upset of Euro 2024 so far with a sensational 2-0 win over Portugal to book its place in the round of 16. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gave Georgia the lead inside two minutes after an awful error in the Portuguese defense, before Georges Mikautadze scored the second from the penalty spot in the second half. Competing at the first major tournament in the nation’s history, Georgia has captured the hearts of fans at Euro 2024 for its fearlessness and high-intensity football”, - writes CNN.

“Georgia stunned Portugal with a brilliant 2-0 win to secure qualification for the last 16 at Euro 2024 - their first major tournament. Georgia’s task at kick-off was simple - beat Portugal and they would reach the next round. They did just that, setting up a meeting with Spain in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday”, - writes Sky Sports.
