Georgia Stun Portugal With Historic Euro 2024 Victory

Underdogs Cause Major Upset, Secure Last 16 Berth

Georgia have made history by becoming the first European team to win their first major tournament match, securing a stunning 2-0 victory over Portugal in the final Group F match of Euro 2024. The win marks a major upset in the tournament so far and sends Georgia through to the last 16.

Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, were heavily favored to win the match, but Georgia's resolute defending and clinical finishing proved to be too much for the former champions. Georgia took the lead in the 30th minute through a header from Giorgi Kvilitaia, and doubled their advantage just before half-time courtesy of a strike from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Despite Portugal's best efforts to get back into the game, Georgia held firm in the second half, with goalkeeper Giorgi Loria making several key saves to deny Ronaldo and his teammates. The victory is a historic moment for Georgian football and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team and coaching staff.

Georgia will now face the winners of Group E in the last 16, while Portugal will have to regroup and prepare for the knockout stages. The upset has sent shockwaves through the tournament and will no doubt give hope to other underdogs who are aiming to make their mark on Euro 2024.
