Georgia v Czech Republic LIVE: Result and reaction after Lobjanidze miss in thrilling finish at Euro 2024

Schick cancelled out Mikautadze’s opener in Hamburg but Georgia spurned a glorious chance to win deep into stoppage time

Gareth Southgate admits England are struggling to deal with Euro 2024 pressure

Georgia earned its first-ever point at a major tournament in a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic at Euro 2024 on Saturday.

Video reviews were in the spotlight as the Czechs had a goal for Adam Hlozek disallowed for hand ball. Georgia, the only team making its debut at Euro 2024, then took the lead with a Georges Mikautadze penalty given for hand ball by Czech defender Robin Hranec.

The Czech team got back into the game when a header rebounded off the post and Patrik Schick scored with his chest. Schick went off with a calf injury soon after.

Georgia could have won but Saba Lobjanidze shot narrowly over the bar with the last kick of the game on a counterattack.

The draw means that both teams almost certainly require a win in their last group games to qualify for the knockout stages. Turkey and Portugal are the other two teams in Group F. They play later Saturday.

PENALTY! Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic

47 mins

PENALTY!

There’s a brief VAR check but at first nobody knows what it’s for. It turns out it’s for a penalty, as Hranac looks like he had extended his arm when trying to reach that delivery from Kvaratskhelia.

The referee goes to the monitor and it’s given!

46 mins

CLOSE! Kvaratskhelia’s ball actually falls behind a lot of the Czech defenders, who were running back towards goal.

It bounces off Czech bodies to fall at the feet of Kashia, and he tries to roll it in but it’s straight at Stanek!

Good work from Mikautadze again to win another free-kick in a dangerous area. Kvaratskhelia swings this one in,

We’ll have two minutes of added time in Hamburg.

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic

44 mins

Davitashvili wins a cheap free-kick from Krejci, and the Georgians have another chance to deliver a ball into the area, but it barely beats the first man.

The Czechs have been superbly organised when defending set pieces.

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic

35 mins

Kvaratskhelia is finding a lot of space between the lines when he drops deep to receive, so he’s been at the centre of most of Georgia’s attacking play.

He pops up again as Georgia spread it wide, but Mikautadze can’t get the shot away. Moments later he slides it through to the overlapping Davitashvili in the box, and his cross is turned behind by Coufal.

DISALLOWED GOAL! Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic

23 mins

DISALLOWED GOAL! And the Czech Republic think they have the lead, but it’s chalked off!

The Czechs opt for the long throw and Coufal delivers from the right. It bounces around the box and comes off the back of Kashia, and right into Hlozek’s path. He hits it right at Mamardashvili but it bounces off the ‘keeper and right back onto Hlozek, who bundles it in.

There’s a check for VAR though and it came off his arm after hitting his head, and it’s disallowed!

3 mins

A frantic start in Hamburg! The Czechs get a throw-in down the right and it’s launched in long, making its way to Hlozek at the back post. His low shot is saved and then the rebound bounces around the box until it reaches Schick, who hits his shot into the ground and Mamardashvili palms it away.

KICK-OFF! Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic

KICK-OFF!

Georgia get us underway and they look to start on the front foot, quickly winning a free-kick in the Czech half.
