Khvicha Kvaratskhelia overjoyed following Georgia’s groundbreaking victory against Portugal at Euro 2024.

Austria is feeling confident about their chances of securing a victory in the last 16 of Euro 2024, regardless of who their opponent may be, according to defender Kevin Wimmer.

In a thrilling match on Wednesday night, Georgia celebrated a historic 2-0 win over Portugal, securing their spot in the knockout stage of their first-ever European Championship. As one of the best third-placed teams, Georgia will now face Spain in the last 16.

Georgia started the match with an explosive pace, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia wasted no time in finding the back of the net, scoring within the first two minutes in Gelsenkirchen. Despite facing a relentless barrage of Portuguese attacks throughout the game, Georgia held their ground, and Georges Mikautadze sealed their victory with his third goal of the tournament in the second half.

Kvaratskhelia, who was instrumental in Georgia’s success, described the win as the best day of his life, even surpassing his experience of winning the Serie A title with Napoli last year. He expressed his joy at representing his country and achieving this milestone, stating that it was a dream come true to play for the national team.

With eight duels won and four fouls drawn, Kvaratskhelia proved to be a key figure in Georgia’s triumph, skillfully maneuvering past numerous Portuguese players. However, their journey is far from over, as they now face a formidable challenge against Spain in Cologne on Monday.

Spain, led by coach Luis de la Fuente, emerged from the group stage as the only team to win all three games without conceding a single goal. Their impressive performance in Group B has solidified their position as one of the tournament favorites.

As Austria prepares for their last 16 clash, Wimmer exudes confidence, believing that his team has what it takes to secure a victory, regardless of the opponent they face. With the knockout stage set to deliver more thrilling encounters, football fans can expect an exciting battle between Austria and their yet-to-be-determined opponent.
