The FINANCIAL — Georgia’s dream run at Euro 2024 continued on Wednesday night as they defeated Portugal by a score of 2-0 at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen. This victory puts Georgia in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages in their first-ever major tournament appearance.
Portugal, already assured of top spot in Group F, made several changes to their lineup, giving opportunities to fringe players. Despite the rotation, Portugal was still expected to overpower Georgia. However, the underdogs had other plans.
The details of the scorers are unavailable, but Georgia capitalized on their chances and managed to keep a clean sheet against a talented Portuguese attack, even with Cristiano Ronaldo rested and Rafael Leao suspended.
This win sends shockwaves through the tournament and keeps Georgia’s qualification hopes alive. They will need to wait for the results of other matches in Group F to determine their final standing, but a historic first knockout stage appearance for Georgia is a real possibility.
