Mamardashvili, Kverkvelia, Kashia, Dvali, Kakabadze, Mekvabishvili, Kochorashvili, Tsitaishvili, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia, and Davitashvili formed the starting XI for Georgia.
On the other side, Czech Republic made three changes to the team that had narrowly lost to Portugal in their opening game. Stanek, Holes, Hranác, Krejci, Soucek, Coufal, Provod, Schick, Hlozek, and Cerny were the eleven players chosen to represent Czech Republic in this crucial match.
The game started with both teams looking eager to make an impact early on. Georgia, with their new lineup, showed determination and discipline in their play. They seemed organized in defense and quick on the attack. Czech Republic, on the other hand, looked to build on their previous performance and take control of the game.
As the match progressed, it was clear that both teams were evenly matched. Georgia’s defense held strong against the Czech Republic’s attacking threats, while Czech Republic struggled to break through Georgia’s backline.

Georgia’s goalkeeper Mamardashvili was put to the test several times as Czech Republic pushed forward in search of a goal. He made some impressive saves to keep his team in the game. Meanwhile, Georgia’s attackers looked dangerous on the break, with Kvaratskhelia and Davitashvili causing problems for the Czech Republic defense.
In the second half, Czech Republic made a tactical change, bringing on fresh legs to try and unlock Georgia’s defense. The substitution had an immediate impact, with Czech Republic creating more chances and putting pressure on Georgia’s backline. However, Georgia remained resilient and continued to frustrate their opponents.
