Georgia made history by defeating Portugal 2-0 in Euro 2024, securing their first-ever knockout stage appearance in a major tournament. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring early with a powerful strike, followed by Georges Mikautadze converting a penalty. Despite Portugal fielding a rotated squad, Georgia’s victory, ranked 74th globally, against the sixth-ranked and 2016 European champions was monumental. Coach Willy Sagnol’s tactics ensured a third-place finish in Group F, setting up a clash with Spain. The win also determined matchups for England, Romania, Netherlands, and Portugal in the round of 16, while Hungary narrowly missed out.
