Jun 26, 2024, 08:22 PM

In a surprising turn of events at Euro 2024, Georgia has taken a 2-0 lead over Portugal, the 2016 champions. The Georgian team, participating in their first major tournament, is on the verge of qualifying for the knockout stages. Georges Mikautadze has been instrumental, scoring both goals, including a penalty, and becoming the tournament's leading scorer with three goals and an assist. Mikautadze has also maintained his perfect penalty streak since 2021. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was substituted off early in Gelsenkirchen, looked visibly frustrated as he failed to score in the group stage for the first time in his career. Despite the loss, Portugal has already secured their place as group winners.
