Euro 2024 update: Georgia and Czechia settle for a 1-1 draw
Georgia and Czechia settled for a 1-1 draw in what was a game riddled with VAR interventions at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany.
Gerogia’s Georges Mikautadze converted a penalty in the fourth minute of first-half stoppage time which was given after a long VAR check.
Georgia’s centre back Guram Kashia took a shot which was saved by the Czech keeper, Jindrich Stanek and the ball was later cleared away and the play continued.
However, VAR intervened, stopped the game and after a long check, gave a penalty to Georgia because the ball had struck Czechia’s Robin Hranac’s hand before it fell to Kashia.
This wasn’t the first time, VAR ruled against Czechia in the first half. In the 23rd minute, Adam Hlozek scrambled the ball into the box after Vladimir Coufal put the ball inside the box with a long throw but it was turned down because of a hand-ball offense.
Later in the 59th minute Patrik Schick scored the equaliser after the ball hit the post and fell to him on the rebound which he simply tapped in.
