Georgia v Czech Republic LIVE: LIVE: Latest score as Schick goal ignites raucous Euro 2024 atmosphere


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

Georgia will look to take their first ever points in international tournament football as they face the Czech Republic in Hamburg on Saturday.

Georgia, who are the lowest ranked team at Euro 2024, put in a spirited performance in their first ever game at a major tournament, though an enthralling counter against Turkey in Dortmund ended in a 3-1 loss.

But the minnows will be quietly confident as they come up against a Czech side that fell to a 2-1 loss against Portugal in their opener.

The match was more one-sided than the scoreline suggested, and with the Czech Republic lacking threat in attack and occasionally looking shaky in defence, this match has all the makings of a potential upset.

Follow the score and all the latest updates from Georgia v Czech Republic below – plus the build-up to Turkey v Portugal and Belgium v Romania in the day’s evening games:

Kakabadze makes a clumsy challenge in the area, but luckily he’s not got enough on it to concede the penalty.

Krejci is the latest to make contact with a ball in from the corner, but he can only direct his header past the far post.

Georgia make a double change, with Davitashvili and Tsitaishvili coming off for Giorgi Chakvetadze and Luka Lochoshvili.

GOAL! Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic

GOAL! And the Czech Republic are level!

It’s a simple one too, as the corner comes in and Lingr heads it across goal. It hits the inside of the far post and bounces straight off Patrik Schick and into the net!

Euro 2024: Georgia 1-0 Czech Republic

Jurasek’s first contribution is to hook a decent ball forward, and the cross ends up going out for a corner, which is cleared.

The ball falls to Kvaratskhelia and he carries it from his own box deep into the Czech half, before laying the ball of to Mekvabishvili’s. He cuts inside and makes room for the shot, but he can only drag it wide of the far post!

Euro 2024: Georgia 1-0 Czech Republic

The Czech Republic work another opportunity in the Georgia box as Cerny cuts it back, but Soucek’s shot flies over.

Ivan Hasek responds by making two changes: Vaclav Cerny comes off for Matěj Jurásek, while Adam Hložek is replaced by Ondřej Lingr.

Euro 2024: Georgia 1-0 Czech Republic

Poor from Cerny as he tries switching the play but hits it out for a throw-in.

The Czechs manage to win it back quickly though and they attack again, but Mamardashvili collects the cross.

Euro 2024: Georgia 1-0 Czech Republic

Kvaratskhelia is inches away from reaching Tsitaishvili’s cross, before the second attempt is right into the hands of Stanek.

Euro 2024: Georgia 1-0 Czech Republic

There’s an early booking in the second half as Jurasek blocks Mikautadze.

KICK-OFF! Georgia 1-0 Czech Republic

The players are trudging back out from the tunnel, and the second half gets started.

Can either side grab the vital three points? Will one of them (almost) be eliminated? We’ll know for sure within the hour.
