Georgia vs Czechia Player Ratings: Mamardashvili shines in a hard-fought draw for Georgia

Czech Republic were held to a 1-1 draw against Georgia in an exciting Euro 2024 Group F round two clash at Volksparkstadion, Hamburg, in Germany.

Georges Mikautadze opened the scoring just before the end of the first half with a calmly converted penalty before Patrik Schick began Czechia’s fightback just before the hour mark by showcasing his positional awareness. He was there at the right place at the right time as the flick off the near post came right on his chest as he placed the ball in the back of Georgia’s goal.

Georgia had the chance to steal a win in the last seconds of the game, but they wasted an open chance to grab a famous win at the Euro 2024.
