Georgia has pulled off a sensational upset! 🎉
In a thrilling match on Wednesday, Georgia stunned Portugal with a 2-0 victory, securing their spot in the Euro 2024 knockout stages for the first time ever! 🇬🇪✨
Nobody saw this coming! Facing off in Gelsenkirchen, Georgia needed a win to advance, and boy did they deliver! In just the second minute, Napoli's star winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia fired Georgia ahead with a fantastic finish. ⚡️
Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, already comfortable as Group F winners, made eight changes to their lineup. Coach Roberto Martinez perhaps didn't anticipate the Georgian storm! 🌩️
The energy was electric as Georgia held their ground and secured this historic win. Meanwhile, Türkiye, Belgium, Romania, and Slovakia also advanced to the last 16 as the group stage wrapped up. 🏆
Up next, Belgium awaits France in what promises to be another epic showdown. But tonight, it's all about Georgia's incredible achievement! 🎊
Football fairytales do come true! Who's excited to see what's next for these underdogs? 🙌⚽️
