Georgia v Czech Republic LIVE: Heroic Mamardashvili shines in frantic Euro 2024 match

The game has calmed down a lot in the last five or so minutes, and Georgia are enjoying some sustained possession.

The Czech Republic are starting to pile on the pressure here, with their latest attack ended for offside despite some great link-up play on the edge of the Georgia box from Cerny.

They attack again and Hlozek breaks through on the left, but his shot is straight at Mamardashvili.

The Czechs get going agains straight away and Schick is in behind, but it’s brilliant defending to slide in and prevent the squared ball across.

Moments later, Hranac does well to slide across and prevent the shot from Kvaratskhelia.

DISALLOWED GOAL! And the Czech Republic think they have the lead, but it’s chalked off!

The Czechs opt for the long throw and Coufal delivers from the right. It bounces around the box and comes off the back of Kashia, and right into Hlozek’s path. He hits it right at Mamardashvili but it bounces off the ‘keeper and right back onto Hlozek, who bundles it in.

There’s a check for VAR though and it came off his arm after hitting his head, and it’s disallowed!

The Czechs have been better than Georgia when asked to keep the ball and create though, it must be said. They work it well once again around the Georgia box, spreading it wide to Jurasek, but his cross is poor and it’s cut out.

Georgia’s counters are what are really getting the crowd going, but they’ve been assured when keeping possession in and around their own half too.

Some brief moments of calm as both sides exchange possession after some sloppy passes and calm build-up.

Kvaratskhelia wins a free-kick from Coufal, and Georgia have some respite.

Time to defend for Georgia as Provod’s shot is blocked shortly before the Czech Republic win a corner.

The cross is swung in and the Czechs get a touch on it, before Mamardashvili punches it away.

Georgia are certainly playing with a lot of invention, led by Napoli’s Kvaratskhelia. Another opportunity narrowly breaks down as Kochorashvili can’t reach the lay-off at the edge of the box.
