Kvaratskhelia Stuns Portugal With Early Goal, Georgia Take 1-0 Lead

In a surprising turn of events, Georgia’s star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has put his team ahead of Portugal less than two minutes into their EURO 2024 Group F clash.

The talented 22-year-old winger, who plays his club football for Napoli, pounced on an opportunity in the Portugal box and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper to give the underdogs an early 1-0 lead.

This early strike by Kvaratskhelia has sent shockwaves through the tournament, as Portugal were widely expected to comfortably handle their Georgian opponents. However, the young Georgian dynamo has delivered an early sucker punch to the highly-fancied Portuguese side.

The goal will be a massive confidence boost for Georgia as they look to pull off a major upset against the tournament favorites. Meanwhile, Portugal will be forced to quickly regroup and find a response if they want to avoid an embarrassing result in this crucial EURO 2024 fixture.

All eyes will now be on how the Portuguese team, led by stars like Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva, and Matheus Nunes, will react to this early setback. The match has certainly taken an unexpected turn in the opening moments.
