In an extremely weak game, there were hardly any highlights to see for the spectators in the Georgian capital Tbilisi. Even Georgia’s superstar Khwitscha Kvarazchelia couldn’t change that. Before the penalty shootout, the referee showed two red cards after an argument: Georgia’s substitute goalkeeper Giorgi Loria and a Greek staff member.
Ukraine also qualified for the European Championships. They won 2-1 (0-1) against Iceland. Albert Guðmundsson (30th minute) initially gave the Icelanders the lead in Breslau, Poland. But then Viktor Zyhankow (54th) and superstar Mychajlo Mudryk (84th) turned the game around. At the European Championships, Ukraine will play in the group stage against Belgium, Romania and Slovakia.
