Spain vs Georgia, EURO 2024 Live Score: Spain will take on Georgia in the round of 16 match.
Spain vs Georgia Round Of 16, UEFA Euro 2024 Live: Goals from Fabian Ruiz and Rodri have put Spain on course for the quarterfinals past Georgia at the Cologne Stadium on Sunday. Georgia were off to a positive start when a Le Normand own goal had put them ahead. However, a Rodri thunderbolt levelled the scores in the first-half.
Georgia and its flying winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will have chance of another stunning upset at the European Championship when they will lock horns against Spain in their round of 16 match at the Cologne Stadium, on Sunday. Georgia are coming into the match after their 2-0 win over Portugal in the group stage.
Spain had won back-to-back European titles in 2008 and 2012 long before Georgia made its major tournament debut as the lowest-ranked team at Euro 2024. There was the 7-1 rout in Tbilisi last September and the 3-1 beating in Valladolid two months later when they met in Euro 2024 qualifying.
It all adds up to Spain, No. 8 in FIFA’s world rankings, facing No. 74 Georgia in the biggest mismatch in the standings among the eight round-of-16 pairings. The main difference could be the confidence Georgia has taken from beating Portugal to book an unlikely place in the knockout rounds.
