Georgia Secures Historic Point in Euro 2024 Debut

Georgia earned its first point at a major tournament with a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic at Euro 2024. Video reviews were crucial as goals were disallowed and penalties awarded. Despite injuries and missed opportunities, both teams now need a win in their final group games to advance.

Georgia made history by earning its first-ever point at a major tournament after drawing 1-1 with the Czech Republic at Euro 2024 on Saturday.

Crucial video reviews saw a goal by Adam Hlozek disallowed for handball, but Georgia capitalized with a Georges Mikautadze penalty following another handball by Czech defender Robin Hranec.

The Czech team equalized as a Patrik Schick header rebounded off the post, allowing Schick to score with his chest before exiting with a calf injury. Georgia nearly clinched a win in a last-minute counterattack, but Saba Lobjanidze's shot went narrowly over the bar.

Both teams almost certainly need a win in their final group matches to qualify for the knockout stages, with Turkey and Portugal set to face off later tonight in Group F's final fixture.
