It was a historic night for Georgian football on Wednesday (June 26) after they beat 2016 champions Portugal in the Euro 2024 at the Veltins Arena in Germany. The 2-0 win which will see Georgia continue their run in the knockout stage of the tournament had star man Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze to thank, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Co were left to rue their chances. However, they had little to lose having already won Group F of the Euro 2024. After Georgia’s win, fans on the internet reacted in huge numbers to this shock Georgia win.

Georgia, the lowest ranked team at the Euro has provided the highest goal-scorer so far in the tournament as well as arguably the best goalkeeper in the tournament.
By the way, they just schooled Portugal.

There's never been a happier bunch of humans than the defenders in the Georgian league after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left for Napoli after his stint at home.

Georgia using the novel tactic of attacking and trying to score goals when they need a win. Against a good team as well.

#EURO2024 #georgia beat #greece barely in a shootout to qualify. And now have served Portugal their behinds on a silver platter. I hope they'll be the Cinderella team like Greece was in 2004. They played beautifully with heart and soul! All hail St George!☦⚽️ pic.twitter.com/dQAR81SX7g

He visto hoy a Georgia y me ha gustado bastante. Con Mamardas muy seguro, cinco defensas, Kocho en medio cortando y Kvaratskhelia arriba en plan estrella han ganado bien a Portugal sin recibir ocasiones claras.
