Matchball missed in stoppage time Georgia earns the first point in its European Championship history against the Czech Republic

Georgia and the Czech Republic drew 1:1. It is the first point in this tournament for both teams and the first point in the history of the European Championship for Georgia.

In a fast-paced game, the Czechs were clearly closer to victory. In the end, the 26:6 shots on goal were in favour of the 1996 European Championship finalists, but it was the Georgians who almost scored after a counter-attack in stoppage time. However, Saba Lobjanidze missed the golden chance from the best position.

Apart from this scene, luck was with the Georgians. The video assistant referee was on the side of the underdogs twice. In the 23rd minute, he intervened after the Czechs had supposedly scored the opening goal, as the ball went into the goal off Adam Hlozek's hand. In stoppage time of the first half, he finally intervened after Robin Hranac - who had already scored an own goal in the first match against Portugal - had the ball hit his hand in his own penalty area. After consulting the video footage, referee Daniel Siebert awarded a penalty. Georges Mikautadze converted the penalty with aplomb and turned the game on its head.

The Czechs continued to set the tone in the second half, but without being as determined as in the first half, when the two Leverkusen players Adam Hlozek and Patrick Schick each missed two top-class chances and were denied by the strong Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. After just under an hour, however, even the 23-year-old was beaten. It was Schick who managed the deserved equalizer after just under an hour and a corner. It was not to be enough more.

Thanks to the point, both teams still have a chance of qualifying for the round of 16 before the final matchday.
