00:00:00I've watched him very closely the first couple of games and listen his movements

00:00:06nothing like what it used to be but that's to be expected due to where he is

00:00:10in his playing career but he more than makes up for it with his game

00:00:14intelligence and positions himself now for a finish he actually plays, he's got a spot on

00:00:19he plays more, if you look at him this evening he'll very very seldom really get out of the box

00:00:24nine times out of ten if he does lay it off he'll position himself for a finish

00:00:29so yes he's more of a number nine now Clive than he's ever been

00:00:32and he hasn't scored at this tournament yet

00:00:35I've been reading the pages of various Georgian news sites today

00:00:40and I lost count of the number of their players that want the CR7 shirt at the end of the game

00:00:45they'll form an orderly queue I'm sure but not until they put a few mud marks on it

00:00:51Georgia don't stand back and admire anyone at all

00:00:55they must win to qualify for the last 16 and if they do win as a by-product

00:01:02England will face Slovakia and not Netherlands in the last 16

00:01:07oh and two nobody will sleep in Gelsenkirchen tonight if Georgia win

00:01:12here is their star man Varetskaja up to their goal scorer Mikhail Tadze

00:01:18but it calls for maybe the main man in European football Cristiano Ronaldo

00:01:24having messed up the backheel he points to Pedro Neto as if he should have anticipated it

00:01:30that's Cristiano

00:01:35looks like a back three for Portugal with Danilo between the two young guns

00:01:40Antonio Silva on the right Gonzalo Inacio here on the left

00:01:48there is Antonio Silva

00:01:50all the way back to Diogo Costa who keeps his place in the Portuguese goal

00:02:00eight changes in all only Joao Palinha and Cristiano Ronaldo retain their spots from the weekend

00:02:10the one thing you can guarantee by the way Portugal set up

00:02:13they've got plenty of width Galo on the right hand side Neto on the left they'll keep their width

00:02:19that's for sure trying to stretch the Georgians

00:02:30that's given away very loosely by Antonio Silva opportunity for Mikhail Tadze

00:02:35here's Varetskaja and how about that for a start oh listen to these celebrations

00:02:42he is an icon in Georgia Varetskaja of Napoli and of Georgia gives them the lead

00:02:56inside of two minutes his first goal of the tournament is a memorable goal for all kinds

00:03:03of reasons brilliant finish Antonio Silva has an absolute nightmare here oh shocking pass

00:03:10doesn't look at all what he's putting to him and the problem he's got then is

00:03:14Varetskaja has got at least a yard on him and he busts himself trying to get back but he can't

00:03:20there's no way to get back to him and he opens up his body Karacvelia looking to finish left hand

00:03:25left foot shot right across the goalkeeper Diogo Costa no chance beautiful finish what a start for

00:03:33Georgia and what a start for Antonio Silva it came in 93 seconds it's his 16th international goal

00:03:42in 33 appearances that is one heck of a record for a country that doesn't win too many international

00:03:49football matches but he is one heck of a player Paris Saint-Germain think that they've managed

00:03:55to prise him away from Napoli in the last 48 hours Antonio Conte is insisting he stays put

00:04:02in Naples Liverpool have more than the passing interest why wouldn't they?

00:04:13and as things stand Georgia qualify

00:04:18and what a start for them I mean I don't want to harp on about it but oh dear me

00:04:23Antonio Silva so slack in the opening period of the game and at this level you just get absolutely

00:04:28punished Portugal have won their last 12 competition internationals all 12

00:04:35since their exit from Qatar in the world cup quarterfinal against Morocco

00:04:45that's a searching ball from Pedro Neto

00:04:48Nalo has started on the right hand side

00:04:52it's to be as Neto will be asked essentially to play as the

00:04:56left wing back there is the coach of Georgia of Georgia the Frenchman Willis Sagnol

00:05:02Jalfatics losing out to the skipper Kachir Mkhitaryan breaks the challenge

00:05:11Chakvitadze of Watford

00:05:23I'm not sure that they're the kind of team that really know how to protect a lead or even want to know

00:05:30no I'll tell you they've been involved with arguably one of the best games in the competition

00:05:34the Turkey I thought it was an absolutely terrific game they're very unlucky not to get anything from

00:05:39the game and they're unlucky not to score in the last minute and they're one all draw the one thing

00:05:44I'm probably doing a disservice to was the involvement from Mkhitaryan because his way of pass

00:05:51to Barrett Scaly was absolutely superb he timed the run he knew the run was on the left hand side

00:05:56of course he took full advantage of the slackness from Antonio Silva but once he received the ball

00:06:03he waited and his time of pass to release the player who executed the finish was first class

00:06:09Georgia just three goals for their name one point for all their stirring vim and vigor

00:06:26well they hit the bar missed a couple of massive late chances before leaving the door open to a

00:06:31very late Turkish counter-attack that gave them a flattering 3-1 win in the opening game then

00:06:37Georgia led the Czech Republic only to concede from a corner and again waste a glaring opportunity

00:06:43to win it on the break in the 95th minute they've not been outplayed in either game

00:06:49far from it far from it

00:06:58maybe the first half hour of their opening match against Turkey in rainy Dortmund

00:07:07his team haven't been able to settle

00:07:09for

00:07:24little loose from Diogo Dalot

00:07:29Joao Neves

00:07:34Ronaldo challenges firm and clean from Kashir he was looking for a foul Ronaldo

00:07:41Kashir was so tight on him I might have to get used to that he's the captain of most

00:07:48capo he turns 37 a week tomorrow and he's trying to school the youngster Ronaldo if he can today

00:07:53right Ronaldo two years his elder

00:08:08come say so

00:08:12to be fair the you know Georgia's well clive I mean they do play with two up front

00:08:18I know teams certain teams will play with three with two wide men

00:08:21Slovenia and Georgia are probably not two teams I've seen in the tournament

00:08:25play two and out and out forwards as such

00:08:28Joao Felix really well challenged by Jack Pitazza

00:08:35yeah Bartoszka will drop in on the left hand side and yeah

00:08:38make an extra man in midfield if necessary but it's not necessary at the moment

00:08:42Jack Pitazza with a a long chase to make from Mikhail Tadze's through ball searching

00:08:55but they are set up well to counter and now they've got a lead to counter against

00:09:04Petro Neto

00:09:15Ronaldo's little flick doesn't come off not too much time there for Duali

00:09:22he just started to panic there didn't he at the end of that attempt to control the ball

00:09:27forward by Kakabatse Baratskalia down Petro Ashvili immediately challenged

00:09:39since the first we've seen of Kiteshvili number 17

00:09:42in the tournament key man in qualifying missed the first two games through injury

00:09:49Jack Pitazza has won a lot of hearts and minds in the second half of the season at Vicarage Road

00:09:55really improved from Christmas onwards

00:10:08Francesco Cancecao forward towards Cristiano Ronaldo but it's asked too much of him

00:10:15made a nervous start Antonio Silva he's taking no chances with that

00:10:31Consolo Inacio to Petro Neto

00:10:36Joao Neves

00:10:39I mean I'm actually amazed at this level you make a mistake like that in opening 90 seconds

00:10:44I know he's a young lad but dear me he's played he's playing at the top level

00:10:49clearly an excellent club Benfica playing European football big matches

00:10:55he's just in a complete blank in the opening two minutes there with that pass

00:10:59I'm going to try and clear his mind Cancecao trying to help him okay

00:11:04only Spain have taken maximum points from their three group games so far Portugal can match that

00:11:18having recorded deserved victories over first the Czech Republic then Turkey but

00:11:24the ball has bounced for them so far they've been assisted by a couple of

00:11:28bizarro goals that doesn't look at all good does it for Cancecao

00:11:36trotting away now in fairness

00:11:40that's because he dived

00:11:45he scored that 92nd minute winner from the bench against the Czech Republic he'd only

00:11:50been on the field a couple of minutes lashed it in from close range shirts off

00:11:55Texan tatties up for us all to see yellow card I hate that me too very important goal wasn't it

00:12:03let them celebrate with the fans that's what it's all about Clive

00:12:05run into traffic but found a way out

00:12:23Chaka Tadza headed away

00:12:26by Neto who's got some real defensive duties this evening

00:12:31there's an apology from Kaka Batsa and it's just going to make him escape a yellow card yeah

00:12:42to the way the Georgians set up with the dimension the two up front Clive it's going to be it's a

00:12:46long night it's a really very very hard shift for the three boys in the middle of the park

00:12:50Chaka Tadza, Kokorashvili and obviously Kitasvili who you mentioned the three lads here

00:12:56it's a long night for them gonna have to work their socks off which they don't do

00:13:01given away by Ronaldo

00:13:03going back by Joao Paulinha he played 45 minutes in the tournament so far

00:13:10Joao Paulinha he sat out the opening game and then was replaced at halftime against Turkey

00:13:21Kashir a little bit of space here for Chaka Tadza

00:13:25Joao Paulinha caught up with him yeah he did well the two of them ganged up on him didn't they

00:13:30it was a good challenge here Joao Paulinha

00:13:40Ignacio, Neto, Joao Felix

00:13:55Joao Neves first touch wasn't the best but he survived it

00:14:05Joao Felix in towards Ronaldo headed away by Kashir seized upon by Kitasvili

00:14:13Chaka Tadza, that's loose, one back there by Kakabadze

00:14:18there's a a giddy sense of chaos about some of Georgia's football like you've been spooling

00:14:27through a game on times two but they do it their way and they do it with an irresistible

00:14:33conviction and they're not easy to tame not easy to subdue

00:14:39Clyde they're a good watch that's what they are mate listen you could sit and nitpick and

00:14:43talk about you know maybe one or two of their errors the way they go about it but I tell you

00:14:48what they're a good watch and they're entertaining. Matrosvili

00:14:54deflected kindly into Diogo Costa's hands

00:15:13Antonio Silva

00:15:30Danilo

00:15:33Ignacio you know Roberto Martinez is nothing if not innovative and inventive as a coach I think

00:15:39Portugal were the only one of the finalists to play three warm-up games at the start of the month

00:15:44three games in which he played 3-4-3, 4-1-4-1, 4-4-2 a couple of other tactical shapes that I

00:15:50couldn't quite make add up to ten he started with a back three against the Czech Republic

00:15:55he reverted to four against Turkey it's three against tonight he does ask questions of players

00:16:03Conceição trying to slip it through to Ronaldo

00:16:07it's late and he does have players in this squad that might just feel as if they can do without a

00:16:13quiz or an exam you know perhaps think they've already got the answers it's

00:16:17it's an interesting dynamic all the tactical and strategic changes that Roberto makes

00:16:25we haven't had a direct free kick goal in this tournament so far

00:16:29I remember way back in my youth saying this is too far out for Ronaldo in a Champions League semi-final

00:16:37at the Emirates and it wasn't

00:16:42I think you've been fairly kind to yourself there Clive

00:16:48that was about 40 yards that night in 2009

00:16:51I remember it well, I remember it well

00:16:52this won't be far off

00:16:53and it's very straight, he hasn't got any angle to work with

00:16:59it's up to see what kind of contact he makes, Ronaldo it's a brilliant contact

00:17:04Mamadashvili just had to fend it away it was self-preservation as much as anything

00:17:11he's just got to keep his eye on it because he's moving I mean it's a beautiful strike

00:17:16of the football it's a shame that he would and should not have been able to do that

00:17:21it's a shame that he would and should be making every time but it definitely moves what he's got

00:17:27to do the goalkeeper Mamadashvili there is not take his eyes off the ball at all for a split

00:17:32second and he didn't, if I said Joffre Archer that

00:17:39corner was a poor one

00:17:40and the goalkeeper comes to claim he's having a headline tournament

00:17:55immediately forward towards Mikhail Tadze

00:17:58sorry Clive just talk to the goalkeeper taking it it's all about communication

00:18:02you tell everybody all the time I keep saying it your tongue's arguably your most important

00:18:06muscle in your body in a football pitch talk to people communicate perfect example of it there

00:18:14Mikhail Tadze would have done well to hear him in this den tonight

00:18:17yeah great atmosphere isn't it really is

00:18:20so

00:18:41he's found a cross found the head of Dalot

00:18:44to generate a lot of the pace himself there Diogo Dalot and he was at the peak of a high jump

00:18:55yeah it was one way month another wasn't it we look at our streak again

00:19:03the stadium camera actually caught him having a look up a close-up of himself on the big screen

00:19:09before he took a free kick against Czech Republic we'll do it you know check in the mirror on the

00:19:14way out of the house I don't think there's any doubt he'd appreciate the view some physical specimen

00:19:31here is Dalot into Ronaldo he couldn't quite direct the layoff in the way that he wanted

00:19:37himself

00:19:50eager enthusiastic Georgia

00:20:07so

00:20:27again a really committed challenge by Kachorashvili which

00:20:31the referee didn't like we haven't mentioned Sandro Schara the Swiss official in charge

00:20:41yeah it's a few kick okay but I'll tell you what he's all over him hasn't he

00:20:44it's a little bit too eager referees younger than three of the players on the field by the way

00:20:50right

00:21:00no Ronaldo this time he's waiting in the middle and he's really good in the air

00:21:07it's like Gerard Felix is going to take it

00:21:10so

00:21:22to a dangerous spot beyond the far post but it did go

00:21:25a little bit too far and to his body language he gets in his road

00:21:32can't believe it talking about communication

00:21:35I'd be staggered if Ronaldo wasn't screaming at the big center back there he has to he's got to

00:21:41leave it Ronaldo's coming in at a far better angle behind him so therefore you leave it if you get the

00:21:48show and I imagine he wouldn't get the show the player culpable for the early Georgian goal

00:21:54and he's just compounded his misery by getting in Cristiano Ronaldo's way

00:21:58so

00:22:14Trappellini has a lot of tidying up since those

00:22:17opening moments when Georgia caught Portugal unaware

00:22:33the other match in this group is in Hamburg tonight Czech Republic against Turkey and

00:22:40Czech Republic have had a man sent off in the first half of that game they're down to 10 men no goals

00:22:47Antonio Silva with a bit of picking up to do one way or another yeah

00:23:12most part playing in front of Georgia at the moment

00:23:18Trappellini that might just have taken a deflection on the way through

00:23:23the goalkeeper had a pretty good view of it but he could just have moved did it

00:23:27yeah I don't think it's a deflection but again goalkeeper most important just don't take your

00:23:32eyes off and he didn't imagine a couple more coming his way

00:23:39he's looked okay so far

00:23:48Roberto Martinez football is all about control and strategy so this is a test of Portugal's

00:23:52ability to play their way his way against the fevered energy and raw commitment of a team that

00:24:04bother you like a swarm of flies they don't leave you alone

00:24:17sit off our Portugal plate square here trying to maneuver around them

00:24:25but when they do engage they engage with purpose

00:24:30Rafael Felix trying to go through the traffic comes with Jean Neves

00:24:36and then I thought better about the back passing just as well

00:24:42Corrish really did really well there standing his feet

00:24:46took his body in between the ball and Jal Felix there that really well good defender

00:24:53this is that here he stands his ground using his body

00:24:56this is that here he stands his ground using his body

00:25:14there's a stoppage here with players suffering with

00:25:19head injury could take several years now that's why

00:25:26I'm not sure I might be wrong I might be an old-fashioned I'm not sure it warrants that

00:25:35free kick yes here's a goal look at the timing of this and the weight of this pass is beautiful

00:25:40beautiful passes the other side of the needle and the finish across the goalkeeper's first glass

00:25:44really is out he comes long hard across the face far corner textbook excellent

00:25:50two rest days after today and then the last 16 begins at the weekend and what a match we've got

00:25:59for you on Saturday evening from 7 p.m on ITV1 and STV the host Germany against Denmark and then

00:26:06Sunday afternoon live and exclusive on ITV1 and STV England's next game we don't know who it's

00:26:12against probably Netherlands maybe Slovakia and it's 3 30 on Sunday on ITV1 and STV

00:26:29goal in 93 seconds tonight for Georgia

00:26:34here's the difference between the two teams 25 minutes in

00:26:39and it's amazing 25 minutes in Clive Georgia have an excellent beat look how deep the two

00:26:45front boys are at this moment in time Barrett Scalia and Mikhail Tadzhets they've now got

00:26:50brought on the break now writing off but initially they're defending at least 10 yards deeper than

00:26:56they were at the start of the game which is natural they just get pushed back even this early in the

00:27:00game

00:27:30Neatly charged down there by Djurisvili.

00:27:37Can't say Sal, buys himself a metre of space.

00:27:39Kashir's attempted clearance was a little random

00:27:43and slices behind for Koenigkegg.

00:27:48Well, he's still the centre-back.

00:27:50Caused him a little bit of confusion there, didn't he?

00:27:52It was a simple clearance for Kashir.

00:27:54Luciano came across and caused him a little bit of a problem.

00:28:00He's in his line of vision, gives away a corner.

00:28:06Netter.

00:28:09It's the inviting one, goalkeeper just about got a hand to it,

00:28:11can't say Sal!

00:28:12Right-netting.

00:28:15Cristiano Ronaldo thought he was impeded inside the penalty area,

00:28:18he's letting everybody know about it.

00:28:20Goal kick.

00:28:21He certainly is.

00:28:23That's a lovely delivery.

00:28:25Pedro Neto just hangs it up at the back post there, doesn't he?

00:28:29He is getting tugged a little bit.

00:28:39Yellow card for Ronaldo as captain, he's allowed to engage the referee,

00:28:44but not wave his arms around and show that level of dissent.

00:28:49And it goes on.

00:28:54Well, he's overreacting from you, Clive.

00:28:56Yes, the lad's got a hold of his jersey a little bit

00:28:58when the ball goes over his head.

00:29:01There's a little bit of Ronaldo, but not too much.

00:29:03Come on, go on there again, lad.

00:29:07You see it, he's got a hold of his jersey.

00:29:11Happens all the time, and he should be used to it more than anybody.

00:29:15He's getting held, there's no getting away from it,

00:29:17but you can't react like that.

00:29:24It's his 13th major international tournament,

00:29:27he's captained his country in the last ten now.

00:29:32Did I read somewhere, Clive, it's actually his 50th

00:29:34international major tournament.

00:29:36I've got him down for a few more than that,

00:29:38I do include Confederations Cup and Nations League,

00:29:40but he's got every record in the book.

00:29:43It's remarkable, absolutely remarkable.

00:29:50Joan Neves.

00:29:53Turned away by Guarlessiani.

00:30:05Petr Oshvili.

00:30:08Just haven't really had a spell of possession

00:30:11for 10-15 minutes now, Georgia,

00:30:14and it's starting to come back at them a bit too quickly.

00:30:17Yeah, that's the big problem with Gork, Clive,

00:30:19if you look at Barrett Scalia,

00:30:21he's going a little bit deeper now, as I mentioned,

00:30:23and so is Tadze, so therefore when they do win the ball,

00:30:27they're not further up the pitch for the midfielders

00:30:29and defenders to hit, so therefore you've got to be

00:30:32really tight and come with them in possession,

00:30:34at this moment in time they're not just like that,

00:30:37and they're losing the ball once they win it back.

00:30:41That's my point now, they've got everybody 25 yards

00:30:44for their own goal, which is understandable,

00:30:46but once you get it, that's your problem.

00:30:49Mbamse Sal.

00:30:51He's good in tight spaces, but...

00:30:54so too is Oshvili.

00:30:58Come on, Felix!

00:31:00I think the goalkeeper would feel as if he just about

00:31:03had that covered with his left hand,

00:31:05but there was an element of surprise,

00:31:07snapshot from Xhal Felix.

00:31:09Didn't look a lot of backswing in it.

00:31:11Initially it's very, very good defending,

00:31:15but that's a beautiful strike.

00:31:17It really is.

00:31:19Hits it really well.

00:31:20Certainly had to keep on thinking about it,

00:31:22had to side-net it anyway, so that's how close it was.

00:31:27It's the first involvement in the tournament for Xhal Felix,

00:31:30he beat a hasty retreat to the dressing room

00:31:33at the end of Saturday's game,

00:31:34prompted speculation that he wasn't happy

00:31:36with Roberto Martinez.

00:31:39This is Dalot coming forward.

00:31:42There was a point that he addressed

00:31:44in his media briefing yesterday,

00:31:46he needed to go to the loo.

00:31:49When you've got to go, it doesn't matter if you go,

00:31:51it's Pep Guardiola who manages it.

00:31:53See you later, boss.

00:31:56Worth mentioning, that was a tremendous break

00:31:58down the right-hand side.

00:32:01Portugal there, Dalot did the right thing

00:32:03in attempting to execute the early pass,

00:32:05but didn't connect with it,

00:32:07because Ronaldo was at the back post.

00:32:09Again, not too pleased that the ball didn't come to him.

00:32:13Maruskan is very good at protecting the ball

00:32:15in those situations and winning free-kicks.

00:32:19And it's an important couple of minutes,

00:32:20you give your team a little bit of a break,

00:32:22it gets you up the pitch.

00:32:33Capitazzi out to Loch Oswili.

00:32:39Kachoroswili.

00:32:41Valisiani.

00:32:46Paschalia.

00:32:47Kakabadze.

00:32:52They've needed a little rest with a ball like this

00:32:54for a little while now.

00:32:57Kiteshvili.

00:33:00That was nice, wasn't it?

00:33:01Just dropped his shoulder.

00:33:03Paulinho bought the dummy,

00:33:05bought himself a little bit of space

00:33:07when he got back inside, nice.

00:33:09Capitazzi.

00:33:11Kiteshvili.

00:33:13Kachoroswili.

00:33:15Trying to get Kakabadze in behind Neto,

00:33:17he's not really used to defending this end of the field.

00:33:23Kakabadze.

00:33:27Valisiani.

00:33:32Capitazzi tried to play him in,

00:33:34Valisiani very ambitious,

00:33:35particularly on his right foot.

00:33:39Well, if he takes a shot,

00:33:42he's got to hit the other side of the goal.

00:33:45I think Pedro Neto obviously thought the ball was out there.

00:33:48Once he hits that shot,

00:33:49he's entitled to have the shot,

00:33:50but he's got to hit the other side of the goal,

00:33:52the big side of the goal,

00:33:53make the goalkeeper work.

00:33:56But it's certainly their best period since they've scored.

00:34:00And they do need just to give Portugal

00:34:02a little reminder from time to time

00:34:05.

00:34:17Roberto Martinez will be

00:34:20pleased with the poise that they've shown since going behind,

00:34:23but they haven't really created a glaring opening yet.

00:34:35Felix.

00:34:38Daniela Pereira.

00:34:41Joao Neves.

00:34:46Nacio.

00:34:48Andres.

00:34:51Andres.

00:34:53Andres.

00:34:55Andres.

00:34:57Andres.

00:34:59Andres.

00:35:01Andres.

00:35:03Nacio.

00:35:06Neto.

00:35:12One in to draw.

00:35:13Poligna.

00:35:14Clever ball.

00:35:15Ronaldo!

00:35:16Really, really good block.

00:35:18Good football all round.

00:35:20Well walked the chance.

00:35:21Valenciani wants to put his body on the line.

00:35:23That's a lovely ball.

00:35:24A little reverse ball here as well.

00:35:25That's a really cute ball from Poligna.

00:35:28Excellent block, you're right.

00:35:30Valenciani gets across, makes a vital challenge there on Ronaldo.

00:35:35That has not passed.

00:35:37Joao Felix.

00:35:40Joao Neves.

00:35:42Diogo Dalot.

00:35:44No foul.

00:35:45Chance here for Tadza.

00:35:48He didn't want to run, everybody.

00:35:49Well, he couldn't.

00:35:50There was not enough pace in the ball.

00:35:51It was actually a poor ball.

00:35:52Maren Scalias found some pace.

00:35:56Bowled over by Dalot.

00:35:57Free kick to Georgia.

00:35:59That was a chance for an unbelievable break, you know.

00:36:02The ball to Jack, but Tadza wasn't good enough.

00:36:04Clive.

00:36:05And he had to check.

00:36:07He wanted more pace on it, so he could let it run through him.

00:36:11And then he would take these chances.

00:36:12I don't know if he's quick enough, but we'll never know.

00:36:15But we should have found out.

00:36:26Maren Scalias standing over the ball.

00:36:30Oh!

00:36:32Oh, a little flick had him an opportunity too.

00:36:36It was Willysi Ami who got in.

00:36:38He was free.

00:36:40What a chance.

00:36:41What a chance that is.

00:36:44Oh, the ball and the pace is fantastic.

00:36:49And I don't know what he...

00:36:50I think he tries to put too much on it.

00:36:52You just want to flick that.

00:36:53Just get a touch on it.

00:36:54It's all it needs.

00:36:55You don't need to put your head on it,

00:36:56as if you're putting it back across the goal.

00:36:58Just get a touch on it.

00:36:59Netter.

00:37:01And that's towards Ronaldo.

00:37:04Montrose really got it away.

00:37:05As far as...

00:37:07Jaap Alenia.

00:37:10That was a big chance, Clive.

00:37:11He's only had one free kick.

00:37:15Netter.

00:37:17On the kick.

00:37:29In a sense, as clear a chance as anything, fortunately.

00:37:33Well, if they do.

00:37:34If they do.

00:37:37Joao Felix trying to change that.

00:37:39Ronaldo got up very early indeed.

00:37:43Joao Neves to Conceição.

00:37:53It's been tricky, but he's been out.

00:37:56It's been tricky, but he's been out now.

00:37:58But the referee's not convinced by that.

00:38:00Yeah, that was an interesting one.

00:38:01I thought he might have had a case here.

00:38:05Chapetazzo.

00:38:09Montrose Philly.

00:38:11Montrose Philly.

00:38:13Back to Douali.

00:38:19It's Welissiani who had that opportunity.

00:38:23Ashiya.

00:38:26It's good movement.

00:38:27It's great movement.

00:38:28It really is.

00:38:30Look at Tadge.

00:38:31He went to spin in behind.

00:38:33And then come short.

00:38:34He got himself his little bit of half-yard.

00:38:35So he can take it in.

00:38:37And play it on the right-hand side.

00:38:39Clear free kick there.

00:38:40The biggest striker on the planet.

00:38:42His movement looks all right.

00:38:43Scored him both of the opening games.

00:38:45Right now he's joint leading scorer in the tournament.

00:38:48Somewhere behind own goals, by the way.

00:38:52He's finished against the Czech Republic.

00:38:54A very good finish.

00:38:55A ball came to him.

00:38:56He just moved his feet really sharp.

00:38:58Knocked it to the goalkeeper's near post.

00:39:00I think it was.

00:39:01If I recall correctly.

00:39:02It was against Turkey.

00:39:03And then the cool side foot penalty against the Czech Republic.

00:39:08Only Gerd Müller and Hristo Stoichkov have scored.

00:39:11So it's a very good finish.

00:39:13It's a very good finish.

00:39:14Only Gerd Müller and Hristo Stoichkov have scored

00:39:17in the first three games of the European Championship Finals.

00:39:21Gerd Müller.

00:39:25Gerd Bommer.

00:39:26One of the best.

00:39:27One of the best.

00:39:30Mikko Tatsa.

00:39:32It's the opportunity to emulate those two.

00:39:34If he can find the net tonight.

00:39:36If he does, Portugal will have real headaches.

00:39:39They're behind Tabaret.

00:39:40Scalia's early goal.

00:39:45Gerd Müller.

00:39:59You want to show patience.

00:40:00But you've got to find some penetration somehow.

00:40:03Ignacio.

00:40:05Neto.

00:40:09Joao Paulinha.

00:40:11Shifted on to Antonio Silva.

00:40:14It's Bioncio Alneves.

00:40:16Waved by Kashir.

00:40:17Barrett Scalia combining with Chad Bittadze.

00:40:20They couldn't quite get away.

00:40:21Barrett Scalia goes down holding his face after the clash with Danilo.

00:40:25Swiss referee unimpressed.

00:40:27Well, it may have caught him, but it was completely accidental if it was, I think.

00:40:32Still writhing about on the floor, inside the centre circle, the Georgian skipper.

00:40:40No, it's across his chest, isn't it?

00:40:43I mean, come on.

00:40:45Maybe the chin a little bit, but that's an overreaction from me.

00:40:53He does throw a lot of fouls.

00:40:55Yeah, part of his style.

00:40:57We saw that with Napoli in their Scudetto season, the one before last.

00:41:02He's brave in the way he carries the ball, but I'm not sure he was particularly brave there.

00:41:08Here's a chance for Ronaldo.

00:41:10Left foot.

00:41:11Great block.

00:41:12Gualiziani just gets across here, doesn't he?

00:41:17No, I think you're looking at Barrett Scalia there.

00:41:20You're correct.

00:41:21He is very, very brave.

00:41:22Takes the ball in good areas.

00:41:24He's probably killing a bit of time there just to take the pressure out of the game,

00:41:28try and get the boys into half-time.

00:41:29One-up.

00:41:31It's Gualiziani's first involvement from the start in the tournament.

00:41:36He did come on as a substitute for the last 10 minutes against the Czech Republic on Saturday.

00:41:41He was shown a yellow card for crossing the white line before the board went out.

00:41:46I mean, that's something we've got to try to stamp out of football.

00:41:50So is that officially a yellow card for over-eagerness?

00:41:54Is that how you describe that?

00:41:56Terrible example to young people, I ask you.

00:42:00No, you're right.

00:42:01Absolute madness.

00:42:02Madness.

00:42:04And where are you with the referees having their names on the back of their match shirts?

00:42:08I dare not ask.

00:42:09It's only in very small letters.

00:42:13Maybe they all get washed together and they need to know when they come out of the dryer.

00:42:18Antonio Silva.

00:42:23Gonzalo Inacio.

00:42:25Pedro Neto.

00:42:27Charles Felix.

00:42:43I've seen a lot of West to East football from Portugal, not too much North-South.

00:42:47That's because it's all about the football.

00:42:50I've seen a lot of West to East football from Portugal, not too much North-South.

00:42:53That's because it's all about the football.

00:42:55Ole Sanyo's got really superbly organised that back five, and as I say, the three in front.

00:43:02Really, really difficult at this moment in time to break down.

00:43:05They haven't had a real major chance yet, Portugal.

00:43:09Still three or four minutes to go in this half, but...

00:43:14Charles Felix.

00:43:15Cristiano Ronaldo.

00:43:17No foul.

00:43:21I think I can tell you one person who won't be getting his match shirt at the end.

00:43:24I think I can tell you one person who won't be getting his match shirt at the end.

00:43:25I think I can tell you one person who won't be getting his match shirt at the end.

00:43:27Referee.

00:43:31Free kick back to Portugal.

00:43:35Jacquet Townsend just lost control of it.

00:43:38Dalot in traffic.

00:43:39There's a lot of traffic out there.

00:43:42Charles Felix.

00:43:45Don't try this at home.

00:43:47You'll fall over.

00:43:48You'll fall over.

00:43:49Kolce Sao.

00:43:50Charles Felix.

00:43:51Kolce Sao.

00:43:54Charles Felix.

00:43:56And Joao Pelinha!

00:43:59Well, it's almost a shame that it didn't go in, because we'd have been seeing the build-up time and time again.

00:44:07They've got to take that back at least another four or five parties, surely.

00:44:12I mean, it's not even the best efforts.

00:44:15I know what he's trying to do, he's trying to find that top corner.

00:44:19But what about that little bit of skill?

00:44:21I'm demanding we see that again.

00:44:24It was a fizzy drink with a bit of vodka in it, that one.

00:44:28I want to hear what Roy's got to say about that half-time.

00:44:36Joao Neves.

00:44:37Rolled off it by Boris Keller.

00:44:38Here is Joao Felix.

00:44:40Now there's opportunities here.

00:44:41Three in support of him.

00:44:45Pedro Neto.

00:44:48Dive, free kick, has gone to Georgia.

00:44:51Yellow card to Pedro Neto.

00:44:54Well, there you are, he's got the best view in the house.

00:44:58That's Sandro Scherrer, the referee, he's having none of it.

00:45:02Best view in the house.

00:45:04I've got to be honest, I thought initially when I'm looking at it from here, he might have got chugged a little bit.

00:45:09Whether he makes a meal of it.

00:45:11No, absolutely not.

00:45:12Referee's spot on.

00:45:14He initiates the contact here.

00:45:15Of course he does.

00:45:16Leaves his left foot there.

00:45:17Of course he does.

00:45:19First-class referee.

00:45:20Absolutely.

00:45:23It came on at half-time against Turkey last Saturday.

00:45:27Without making a significant impact really.

00:45:29He's had such a frustrating season.

00:45:31Lost two sizable chunks of it to hamstring issues.

00:45:35Missed all of April, much of May.

00:45:36Only really came back to play the last 15 minutes of the final league game in Anfield.

00:45:42No luck with injuries the last three years.

00:45:45Čaputadze.

00:45:46Mikhatadze.

00:45:47Varetskaja.

00:45:49Couldn't quite get it out from under his feet.

00:45:58Draneves. Foul.

00:46:05Dalot.

00:46:07No offense, two added minutes coming.

00:46:11Trump.

00:46:12Trump.

00:46:13Felix.

00:46:14Not really touching the goalkeeper.

00:46:17Didn't really get hold of it on his left foot.

00:46:20But Mamadashvili had to make a save.

00:46:22Yeah.

00:46:25Comes through.

00:46:27One or two players.

00:46:29Maybe a set of legs.

00:46:30But, again.

00:46:33Mamadashvili.

00:46:35He's got it.

00:46:36He's got it.

00:46:37He's got it.

00:46:38He's got it.

00:46:39He's got it.

00:46:40Mamadashvili.

00:46:42Pretty comfortable, Clive.

00:46:43His handling's been pretty good the opening 45 minutes or so.

00:46:47He's coming to this off a really good season in La Liga with Valencia.

00:46:52Like a bigger fish circling now.

00:46:54I think he was joint four and clean sheets.

00:46:56Unless I'm wrong.

00:46:57In La Liga this year.

00:46:58Great season he's had.

00:47:03Kakabadze.

00:47:05Showed too much of that to Petroneta.

00:47:07Yeah, he can't come back that way.

00:47:10He's got to keep going.

00:47:13He's natural body movement now.

00:47:19Don't say Sal.

00:47:20Corner kick.

00:47:23It's about to be time for it.

00:47:30Roberto Martinez has been an international coach for the last eight years now.

00:47:34He's got a bit of thinking to do here at the break.

00:47:36He's got a stacked bench to call on.

00:47:41Neto's corner.

00:47:45Mamadashvili taking evasive action by his post.

00:47:54Can't say Sal.

00:47:57Well-martialed again.

00:48:00Duali out to him.

00:48:04They just bounce off challenges.

00:48:07They haven't cleared the lines.

00:48:09He's looking for a key kick here, wasn't he?

00:48:11Duali.

00:48:12It's the end of the first half.

00:48:14Which has ignited Georgia's belief they can continue.

00:48:18Had you all settled down?

00:48:21We're 93 seconds in.

00:48:23Varescalia, their talisman scored.

00:48:25Ronaldo's still kicking off on the touchdown.

00:48:28He's furious.

00:48:29He's got a yellow card.

00:48:30They're the stats of a riveting first half.

00:48:32Georgia 1, Portugal 0.

00:48:35In the final group matches.

00:48:38Georgia will do the same, we would imagine.

00:48:40They'll carry on playing on the break and showing how dangerous they are on the break.

00:48:43That's the thing.

00:48:44There's no signs of them sitting in too much of a low block.

00:48:47They do have the threats going the other way.

00:48:49Obviously, Martin is making a change as well.

00:48:52It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

00:48:54I don't think Georgia will change anything.

00:48:56The good thing with Georgia is they have won it back.

00:48:58Their first pass is a forward pass.

00:49:00It's not a direct offensive.

00:49:01They've got runners.

00:49:02They're a fit group.

00:49:03This is going to look pretty comfortable.

00:49:05Portugal have to improve the intensity and the quality.

00:49:08It would not be good enough.

00:49:09Roberto Martins took Paulinho off in the last game when he was butch.

00:49:12He's not decided to take Cristiano Ronaldo off, but he has enough to calm down.

00:49:15He wants that goal desperately.

00:49:17You wouldn't put it past him, would you, to score in the second half?

00:49:19What a huge 45 minutes for those guys.

00:49:22Absolutely.

00:49:23The Portuguese out nice and early.

00:49:25Here come the Georgians.

00:49:26We'll keep in touch with what's going on in the other game as well.

00:49:29When we finish this evening and we come back into the studio,

00:49:32we will be able to give you the last 16 rundown.

00:49:36We'll know exactly who is playing who and when as we reach the knockout stages.

00:49:4045 minutes left, though, before all that,

00:49:42and Ali McCoys and Clive Tilsley to talk you through it all.

00:49:46Georgia have only beaten four of the other finalists here

00:49:50in Competition Internationals.

00:49:52If you ask them for their biggest ever win,

00:49:55I dare say a Euro qualifier against Russia back in 2003,

00:50:00which I'm likely to mention for various reasons.

00:50:02They did beat Sweden with Ibrahimovic and Isak in attack in 2021.

00:50:07They've had a couple of qualifying victories over Scotland.

00:50:10They've beaten Croatia, Hungary, Poland, too.

00:50:13They had a friendly win in Spain just before Euro 16.

00:50:17Sergio Ramos, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets played that night.

00:50:21But this would top the lot in their first major finals.

00:50:26We're looking here at possibly the greatest night

00:50:29in the modern history of Georgian football.

00:50:32So that change, just to confirm, is at the heart of the Portuguese midfield.

00:50:37Ruben Neves, who came on at halftime last Saturday against Turkey,

00:50:41has replaced Raul Pallinho, who's just had two portions of 45 minutes in the tournament so far.

00:50:51Ruben Neves is on, and Ali McCoy is alongside me,

00:50:55and that's just like the light.

00:50:59I thought you were comparing me to Ruben Neves for a fleeting moment,

00:51:03and I thought, no, never.

00:51:05I just wonder if there's something with Raul Pallinho

00:51:09that's maybe preventing him from playing a full 90,

00:51:12he just wants him off to give him a rest.

00:51:15The question that you and I were asking,

00:51:18will Ronaldo stay on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes,

00:51:21that'll be one we'll have to watch, Clive.

00:51:23He was running a fever at the end of the half, here he is,

00:51:26trying to combine with Joel Felix.

00:51:30Given away by Neto, it was a little tentative for the pass.

00:51:34I did enjoy the conversation at halftime between the crew regarding the potential penalty.

00:51:40Ronaldo.

00:51:42Can't say so.

00:51:44Onto his favoured left foot, deflected.

00:51:46You can't allow him to swivel inside there,

00:51:48because he'll open up his body and find the top corner,

00:51:51unless the defender gets a foot to it like that.

00:51:53Yeah, he'll get an HNT, then he hides it.

00:51:57It's Tom's back on soon, isn't it, Dibali does well.

00:52:06Ruben Neves, who plays his club football now in Saudi Arabia,

00:52:10will take the corner kick.

00:52:16Oh, and the deflection's good, and Ronaldo's there!

00:52:19And it's just deflected over.

00:52:23The initial deflection was kind to him, but then the block wasn't.

00:52:28It's unbelievable, I think it comes off Barrett Scalia,

00:52:33and that's a tremendous block.

00:52:35Oh, dear me.

00:52:39Dibali again, I don't think he knows an awful lot about it, Clive,

00:52:42but what a block that is.

00:52:44Ruben Neves again.

00:52:47Ronaldo's there again, and somehow they smuggle it behind.

00:52:50In fact, there's a handball in there, and a relieving free kick to Georgia.

00:52:57What a chance that is.

00:53:00De Niro to Barrett, comes up off his hand, there's no doubt about that.

00:53:03Let him come up Garcia's arm.

00:53:06That's it there, but that's never a handball in 100 years,

00:53:09tucked into his body.

00:53:12It's fascinating, Gary Neville and Boyd Keane know Cristiano Ronaldo so well,

00:53:16and how much it hurts when he doesn't score,

00:53:19and he hasn't scored in this tournament as yet.

00:53:24Petro Neto.

00:53:27Shell had a great chance here, that was a real opportunity for him.

00:53:31I think A&E departments were full treating people for shock

00:53:34when he passed Bruno Fernandes in the last game,

00:53:38and he had an opportunity to score.

00:53:41Very unselfishly.

00:53:45Felix running into trouble,

00:53:48and pulled away by Tadzic.

00:53:51He's very polished on the ball.

00:53:53He is, isn't he?

00:53:58I know they've been under the cush a little bit,

00:54:01but when they do get possession, unlike that in the middle of the park,

00:54:06they've been OK, they really have.

00:54:08Kitashvili.

00:54:10Kokorishvili and indeed Tadzic,

00:54:12they've been all right, they've been comfortable on the ball,

00:54:15they don't mind it.

00:54:16And obviously a lot of fellow up-fronts get something a little bit special.

00:54:23They were topping up the number of golden boots and shoes

00:54:26that Cristiano Ronaldo has won.

00:54:28I think he's 18.

00:54:30And they all need dusting, you know,

00:54:32Jorginho's probably told him to start passing it a bit more,

00:54:36he don't need any more of those in the house,

00:54:38he can have some assists.

00:54:40All I can think of, he's offside this time.

00:54:44I was staggered to read he has more assists than anyone

00:54:47in the history of this tournament, too.

00:54:52It's good defending that, again.

00:54:55Kashiya just steps out, he looks across his line,

00:54:58but it's a run offside, good half-yard off.

00:55:07He's got it in, it's a great chance!

00:55:10Well, of all the players in Georgian football history,

00:55:14they wanted that to fall to, it was Vareskaya.

00:55:17And he mishit it.

00:55:19He tries to swing at it, there's too much pace in the ball,

00:55:22he's just got to make a contact on it,

00:55:24he's just got to get a surface on it and direct it goalwards.

00:55:27I think he tries to put too much pace on the ball,

00:55:30and the pace is all on the ball,

00:55:32I think he tries to put too much pace on the ball,

00:55:35and the pace is all on the ball, initially.

00:55:37I think Kautetsa had a sight of goal,

00:55:39and maybe just put him off slightly.

00:55:45Poor defending again by Nassir.

00:55:47It really is.

00:55:51Yeah, he's just got to meet it.

00:55:53It's a side foot job, he doesn't connect at all,

00:55:57he's got to just meet it and direct it back where it came from,

00:56:01I think, towards the goalkeeper's left-hand side,

00:56:03that's a finish.

00:56:05But he just didn't connect with it.

00:56:10He looked wounded and white when he was substituted,

00:56:14when he was standing near the end of Saturday's game,

00:56:17but he's just got so much spirit as well as skill.

00:56:23Acrobats are trying to get forward here.

00:56:26Nassir wasn't getting caught out a second time.

00:56:32They seem to see how long they can sustain this level of effort,

00:56:36particularly without the ball, Georgia.

00:56:48Neves.

00:56:51Danilo.

00:56:53Antonio Silva.

00:56:56Francesco Consassar.

00:57:02Maybe a bubble of menace about Consassar so far,

00:57:05but not a truly telling contribution.

00:57:09Jean Neves.

00:57:21Antonio Silva.

00:57:25They're all defended by Kashin.

00:57:28Now, with what part of the body did Kortarishvili stop that?

00:57:34Chester, I think.

00:57:36I think it's gone Georgia's way.

00:57:46It's his chest, isn't it, that comes across.

00:57:49He's just completed his first year as professional footballer at Kortarishvili,

00:57:54with Levante in the second tier of Spanish football.

00:57:58Chapatats are impressing again.

00:58:01Enjoying a yellow card foul from Ruben Neves.

00:58:06It's a silly three-kick. I know he's got it.

00:58:09He's got it.

00:58:11He's got it.

00:58:13He's got it.

00:58:14It's a silly three-kick. I know he's got it.

00:58:17He did really well.

00:58:19Chapatats, he just used his upper body to get by Ruben Neves there.

00:58:24He decided it was enough.

00:58:26Just good strength to get by him, wasn't it?

00:58:29You can't have a clear yellow in that in your life.

00:58:32Kortarishvili has forced it forward.

00:58:35Nikotadze.

00:58:37Akabatze.

00:58:38Borenskani was there again and it came off Antonio Silva.

00:58:41Borenskani is waiting for another ball in from Lodzkvili.

00:58:45He didn't quite get hold of that one either,

00:58:48but he's still got an interest.

00:58:50Lodzkvili has gone down.

00:58:52Referee tells him to get to his feet.

00:58:54Half the Georgia bench are on the touchline shouting for a penalty.

00:58:58They thought he was caught.

00:59:01If it had been done a split second earlier,

00:59:04the referee might have made the decision to make.

00:59:06It will be reviewed by the on-field referee.

00:59:08It will be reviewed,

00:59:10but the on-field decision may go against him.

00:59:13Unless it was a clear and obvious error.

00:59:16Colcesao.

00:59:18Trafalix.

00:59:20Wasn't the best of passes, to be honest.

00:59:24Ruben Neves.

00:59:26Diogo Dalot.

00:59:29Well, it's not beyond him.

00:59:30It needed a good save, actually, from

00:59:33Mamadashvili.

00:59:34Terrific effort from Dalot.

00:59:36I think this might be a brilliant save, you know.

00:59:39Oh, by the way, what a save that is.

00:59:43What a save.

00:59:45Mamadashvili, that's the save of the match,

00:59:48that by a country mile.

00:59:50There is a penalty check going on

00:59:52for a potential foul there.

00:59:55Cristina Alco.

00:59:57Is that a clear and obvious error?

00:59:59Is this a penalty to Georgia?

01:00:01The recommendation will be a penalty to Georgia.

01:00:04This is the best angle that you see right now

01:00:06to see the contact onto the top of the right of the boot

01:00:09that gets him and nicks him on it.

01:00:11Is it a little bit of an exaggeration one would argue?

01:00:13Yes, but because of this contact,

01:00:15there will be no surprise if there's a recommendation,

01:00:17as you see right now, for VAR to overturn this

01:00:19for a penalty, and that should be the outcome.

01:00:22Soon as they make that signal at the television,

01:00:25they may as well put the black cap on

01:00:27because we know what's coming.

01:00:29He's not being sent over there to watch Coronation Street.

01:00:33He's looking at this.

01:00:37Penalty, Ali?

01:00:39I'm going to give you my take on it right now.

01:00:42I think there's contact, yes.

01:00:44There's nothing like enough contact

01:00:46to put him down like that.

01:00:48But that's not the question.

01:00:50There is contact.

01:00:52Penalty.

01:00:54My point is this,

01:00:56and that's your question, Clive.

01:00:58He could easily have stayed on his feet,

01:01:00but he's not going to.

01:01:02I get that.

01:01:04So therefore he's going to get a penalty.

01:01:06He's going down, in my opinion.

01:01:08Yes, and I think there's a different interpretation

01:01:10between UEFA and the Premier League now,

01:01:12which itself is a bit of a headache.

01:01:14Now, Howard Webb is preaching

01:01:16contact with consequence.

01:01:18Now, is that truly consequence?

01:01:20Probably not.

01:01:22Would you have gone down?

01:01:24There's no chance.

01:01:26I wouldn't have gone down, aye.

01:01:28Absolutely.

01:01:29But there's no chance it's enough to put him down.

01:01:31You can tell the way he flicks his leg back.

01:01:33He actually flicks his leg back

01:01:34and there's contact.

01:01:36So therefore you can argue it's a penalty.

01:01:38Mikvotac had soaked the penalty

01:01:40just before half-time

01:01:42against the Czech Republic last Saturday.

01:01:44He side-footed it to the goalkeeper's left.

01:01:47He actually missed his penalty

01:01:49in the shoot-out against Greece in March,

01:01:51which brought Georgia to these finals.

01:01:57You can be sure

01:01:59that Diogo Costa

01:02:01will have been made aware

01:02:02of exactly what Mikvotac did

01:02:04at the weekend.

01:02:06Will he go the same way?

01:02:08Goalkeeper's left or not?

01:02:10He has got a variation.

01:02:12He's lost seven enemies, Clive.

01:02:14Big moment this for Georgia.

01:02:17Mikvotac from the penalty spot.

01:02:19Two-nil!

01:02:23He's the leading goalscorer

01:02:25of the tournament.

01:02:29Georgia have clear daylight.

01:02:30They've got a clear sight

01:02:32of the last 16

01:02:34of the European Championship finals.

01:02:37Wild celebrations!

01:02:40This place is jumping.

01:02:42Absolutely magic, it really is.

01:02:44Look how tazzy.

01:02:46You fancied him, you really did.

01:02:48As I said earlier, Clive,

01:02:50you look at the variation in these penalties.

01:02:52He comes back across himself.

01:02:54He's been up the middle.

01:02:56He goes down bottom left.

01:02:58That one he strikes well enough

01:03:00to make no mistake about it.

01:03:02He will cost a win the right way.

01:03:04He can consider himself

01:03:06a little bit unlucky.

01:03:08It's just a piece of the ball

01:03:10that beats him.

01:03:12Incidentally, in the other game

01:03:14in Hamburg, Turkey have taken

01:03:16the lead against the Czech Republic.

01:03:18Turkey only need a point

01:03:20themselves to qualify.

01:03:22It looks like both they

01:03:24and Georgia are going through

01:03:26with Portugal.

01:03:28Willy Samuel,

01:03:30one of the best celebrations

01:03:32in this stadium.

01:03:34You know, he played

01:03:36in a World Cup final in Germany

01:03:3818 years ago, the Georgian coach.

01:03:40And his job in the semi-final

01:03:42in Munich was to take

01:03:44the 21-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo.

01:03:46They meet again.

01:03:54Can't say so.

01:03:56This is not done.

01:03:57Roberto Martinez

01:03:59has some real talent

01:04:01on the bench behind him.

01:04:03Maybe he'll choose to twist.

01:04:05Charles Felix.

01:04:07Smashed away by Garcia.

01:04:13First player in the tournament

01:04:15to three goals.

01:04:18Here he is.

01:04:20He's quick.

01:04:22Carlos Aguirre will.

01:04:24Couturashvili.

01:04:27Duali.

01:04:32Golosiani.

01:04:38Couturashvili.

01:04:42The Czech Republic

01:04:44is really taking the eye tonight.

01:04:58Antonio Silva.

01:05:03You know exactly why

01:05:05Roberto Martinez has chosen

01:05:07the team that he has.

01:05:09Leaving out

01:05:11Ruben Diaz and Pepe

01:05:13just to say anything to the back.

01:05:15May cost him.

01:05:17Danilo, he has plenty of experience

01:05:19in fairness.

01:05:21He's got two relative rookies

01:05:23either side of him.

01:05:27Ruben Neves.

01:05:30Ronaldo goes down again.

01:05:32He's going to have to be careful,

01:05:34you know.

01:05:36This is a real test

01:05:38of the referee's nerve

01:05:40as much as anything.

01:05:46He's getting tugged again.

01:05:48The left arm of Ruben Diaz

01:05:50has left on him.

01:05:52He's got to be careful.

01:05:54He's got to be careful.

01:05:55The left arm.

01:06:01I'm not sure it's a penalty

01:06:03but I don't think it's a dive.

01:06:10Ruben Neves

01:06:12as well failing.

01:06:13Speak to it by Kasheer.

01:06:14Away by

01:06:15Couturashvili.

01:06:17Beautifully played

01:06:18into the path of

01:06:19Jack Ptacic.

01:06:21Maren Scalia waits.

01:06:26Maren Scalia.

01:06:30They're on a string for the moment.

01:06:33Kosesawa unable to play

01:06:35his way out of trouble.

01:06:36Plays his way into trouble.

01:06:38Kasheer.

01:06:49One of the byproducts

01:06:51of a Georgia win tonight.

01:06:52Is that England

01:06:54will play on Sunday

01:06:56late afternoon

01:06:58next here live on ITV

01:07:00will face Slovakia

01:07:02and not Netherlands.

01:07:05I'll confirm that for you

01:07:07at the end of the show

01:07:08but that's where it's heading

01:07:09at the moment.

01:07:14Guess you wouldn't be too

01:07:15disappointed with that

01:07:17change of fixture for you.

01:07:23I'm not too disappointed by

01:07:24anything that Georgia are

01:07:25doing tonight.

01:07:27Either for themselves or

01:07:28anybody else.

01:07:30I'm enjoying the play

01:07:31but really I'm

01:07:32thrilled.

01:07:35Kosesawa.

01:07:42Squirted across there

01:07:43with his unfavoured right foot.

01:07:45There's no real control

01:07:46about it.

01:07:53Has anyone played

01:07:54really well

01:07:56in their third group game?

01:07:58It doesn't sound as

01:07:59though Belgium did

01:08:01this afternoon

01:08:02although we were watching

01:08:03Romania Slovakia.

01:08:04France no.

01:08:05England no.

01:08:06Italy no.

01:08:07Germany not really.

01:08:09Spain reserves

01:08:10not convincing.

01:08:12Austria are the form

01:08:13team in the tournament.

01:08:15Austria.

01:08:16I beg your pardon.

01:08:17It was an Austria game

01:08:18obviously I wasn't

01:08:19expecting that.

01:08:20I tell you what

01:08:21it was only an own goal

01:08:22that beat them against

01:08:23France as well.

01:08:25They were a good start.

01:08:33Obviously the 3-1 victory

01:08:34I think it was against

01:08:35Poland as well.

01:08:36So you could argue

01:08:37they've been

01:08:39one of the most attractive.

01:08:40Certainly Spain as well

01:08:41though.

01:08:42I mean

01:08:43I thought against Italy

01:08:44they were

01:08:45very, very good.

01:08:47I think it was

01:08:49very, very good.

01:08:52Off goes

01:08:54Modrosvili

01:08:56and

01:08:58on in his place

01:09:01is Georgi

01:09:03Sitoisvili

01:09:05who actually plays

01:09:06his club football

01:09:07in Georgia.

01:09:08They've got a bit of

01:09:09an issue at left back

01:09:10at the moment

01:09:11because Shengelia

01:09:12who they'd like to be

01:09:13playing there

01:09:14is not fit.

01:09:15They've had to mix

01:09:16and match a little bit.

01:09:17Sitoisvili

01:09:18is now on

01:09:21number 21

01:09:22at left wing back.

01:09:28Just moved Valle

01:09:29in one haven't they

01:09:30Clive to the left centre

01:09:31back.

01:09:32They moved him in

01:09:33to Lokosvili's position

01:09:34and they've brought

01:09:35as you say

01:09:36the substitute on

01:09:37and he'll play there.

01:09:43Ruben Neves

01:09:48Danilo

01:09:50Ignacio

01:09:54I don't know

01:09:55it just feels like

01:09:56every Portuguese attack

01:09:57is a rerun of the last one.

01:10:00There's been enough

01:10:01variety in their play

01:10:02this evening

01:10:03to unlock doors.

01:10:06About to make a couple

01:10:07more changes.

01:10:08We're going to see

01:10:09Goncalo Ramos

01:10:10for the first time

01:10:11in the tournament.

01:10:12He's been seen

01:10:13with a slight injury.

01:10:15Going to take Ronny off.

01:10:22I would say Sal

01:10:23with the flick

01:10:24is a good one from

01:10:25Ruben Neves

01:10:26but the cover is even better.

01:10:28Varetskaila

01:10:29protecting the ball brilliantly.

01:10:34The initial block

01:10:35off the shot for Tadji

01:10:36was excellent.

01:10:37He does know

01:10:38he's not in the playground

01:10:39doesn't he?

01:10:40He knows that this is

01:10:41a proper European Championship match.

01:10:45Cristiano Ronaldo

01:10:46will be replaced.

01:10:50Goncalo Ramos

01:10:51who replaced him

01:10:52in the starting eleven

01:10:53during the last

01:10:54World Cup finals

01:10:55will come on

01:10:56and so will

01:10:57Nelson Samedo

01:10:58of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

01:11:06Goncalo Ramos

01:11:07who was

01:11:08taken out

01:11:09by Stewart

01:11:10at the end of the Turkey game.

01:11:11Two-footed

01:11:12out of control.

01:11:13He limped away

01:11:14and he has missed

01:11:15some training

01:11:17but he's on now

01:11:18for Ronaldo.

01:11:20And Nelson Samedo

01:11:21who's had 30 minutes

01:11:22in two substitute

01:11:23appearances here

01:11:24so far

01:11:25coming in

01:11:26and off the best

01:11:27of his four seasons

01:11:28at Wolverhampton Wanderers

01:11:29where he was

01:11:30voted Player's Player

01:11:31of the Year last season

01:11:33is on down

01:11:34the right side.

01:11:42Dalot has gone

01:11:43into right centre

01:11:44back now.

01:11:51Ignacio

01:11:52Goncalo Ramos

01:11:53is there

01:11:54comes up for

01:11:55Conceição!

01:11:57He's struck it

01:11:58pretty sweetly.

01:11:59Takes it well

01:12:00on his chest

01:12:01to provide the angle

01:12:02for the shot

01:12:03but he's just

01:12:04leaning back,

01:12:05isn't he?

01:12:06That's a nice touch

01:12:07that one there's a nice touch

01:12:08and it's just behind him

01:12:09and he can't go over it.

01:12:10Touch is good

01:12:11but once you go over

01:12:13coming across it.

01:12:16We were together

01:12:17to see

01:12:18Goncalo Ramos

01:12:19come on and score

01:12:20a hat-trick

01:12:21on his full debut

01:12:22at the World Cup Finals

01:12:23against Switzerland

01:12:24when he was

01:12:25preferred to

01:12:26Ronaldo

01:12:27in the

01:12:28round of 16.

01:12:29Smashed home his first

01:12:31inside 20 minutes

01:12:33added the third

01:12:34and the fifth

01:12:35with a delightful

01:12:36ding past the goalkeeper

01:12:37that night.

01:12:39So one or two

01:12:40injury issues

01:12:41with Paris Saint-Germain

01:12:42since they haven't

01:12:43quite established

01:12:44himself there

01:12:45in truth.

01:12:47He's ill over Christmas too

01:12:49but he did start

01:12:50to score more freely

01:12:51from February onwards.

01:12:55Salado

01:12:57Dalot

01:12:59Joao Felix

01:13:06Salado just trying

01:13:07to let the ball

01:13:08drift across his body

01:13:09but Tualy shut the door

01:13:10on his face

01:13:11at the expense

01:13:12of a corner.

01:13:14Gabriel Nelson

01:13:15made up.

01:13:17Fifth cheese

01:13:18knocking a lot of cores

01:13:19keeping it alive

01:13:20getting a corner.

01:13:23Jose Sao

01:13:28Attacked by Gonzalo Ramos

01:13:29couldn't quite

01:13:30climb high enough

01:13:31and then

01:13:32he was

01:13:33fouled by

01:13:34Joao Neves.

01:13:40Chance of a

01:13:41just a little

01:13:42breather.

01:13:43That's exactly

01:13:44what it is Clive.

01:13:47I mean it's a silly

01:13:48challenge and it's a

01:13:49sore one.

01:13:51Kaka Bajic

01:13:52takes one to the

01:13:53bucket ahead.

01:13:57It has been an equaliser

01:13:58in the other game

01:13:59in the group.

01:14:01In Hamburg

01:14:02it's now

01:14:03Turkey 1

01:14:04Czech Republic 1

01:14:05Thomas Soce

01:14:06has got that goal.

01:14:09Turkey only need a point

01:14:10and Czech Republic

01:14:11must win.

01:14:14Georgia need to win

01:14:15this game

01:14:16but they've got two goals

01:14:17to play with now.

01:14:25Those

01:14:27St. George's cross

01:14:28players

01:14:29are

01:14:30not

01:14:31going to

01:14:32play

01:14:33well

01:14:34against

01:14:35St. George's

01:14:36cross shirts.

01:14:37The flag

01:14:38of Georgia

01:14:40looks like the

01:14:41England

01:14:42end there

01:14:43doesn't it?

01:14:44But that is the

01:14:45national flag.

01:14:46Has been for about

01:14:4720 years.

01:14:48It's

01:14:49a red cross

01:14:50on a white

01:14:51background

01:14:52and then there

01:14:53are smaller

01:14:54red crosses

01:14:55in each of the

01:14:56squares

01:14:57and they

01:14:58are

01:14:59representative

01:15:00for Jesus

01:15:01Christ

01:15:02and the

01:15:03four evangelists.

01:15:05Getter.

01:15:11Ignacio

01:15:122

01:15:13Ruben Neves

01:15:15Diogo Dalo

01:15:18Francisco

01:15:19Colcesao

01:15:28Side to side

01:15:30trying to work

01:15:31and stretch the cover

01:15:32but it won't be

01:15:33stretched.

01:15:34Akobadze with a very well

01:15:35timed challenge.

01:15:39Ruben Neves

01:15:40Diogo Dalo

01:15:47Colcesao

01:15:50It's an awkward cross for

01:15:51Koshir to deal with

01:15:52but it's also a

01:15:53pretty speculative

01:15:54cross.

01:15:55Just

01:15:56hits and curled into

01:15:57a dangerous area

01:15:58rather than picking

01:15:59anybody out.

01:16:04Ruben Neves

01:16:05Diogo Dalo

01:16:16John Felix

01:16:22John Neves

01:16:28Colcesao

01:16:34Again, it's a hopeful

01:16:35cross

01:16:36from Salo Ramos

01:16:37trying to make

01:16:38something of it.

01:16:43Just like that

01:16:44bit of invention

01:16:45which Bernardo Silva

01:16:46and Bruno Fernandes

01:16:47yeah

01:16:48Coutinho gave

01:16:49to their midfield

01:16:50efforts.

01:16:58John Neves

01:16:59charged down by

01:17:00Barrascaglia

01:17:04Kutashvili

01:17:05with a fantastic

01:17:06pass.

01:17:12Smashed the shot.

01:17:14He's been excellent.

01:17:15Do you know what he

01:17:16does really well here?

01:17:17He puts his body

01:17:18across to make sure

01:17:19he's getting a shot

01:17:20no matter what happens.

01:17:21It's an excellent

01:17:22pass released to him

01:17:23Kutashvili

01:17:24but look at the way

01:17:25he takes his touch

01:17:26away.

01:17:27So no matter

01:17:28what happens

01:17:29he's getting a shot

01:17:30at goal.

01:17:31Joaquin

01:17:32probably could've

01:17:33and should've

01:17:35His career was interrupted

01:17:36by a really bad

01:17:37knee injury

01:17:38back in 2019

01:17:39when he was playing

01:17:40in Belgium

01:17:41and it has taken him

01:17:42a while to resurrect it.

01:17:43Joined Watford

01:17:44initially on loan

01:17:45at the start of

01:17:46last season

01:17:47but they've snapped him

01:17:48up now on a contract.

01:17:51The more and more

01:17:52influence that he had

01:17:53last season

01:17:54the further and further

01:17:55they moved away

01:17:56from the relegation zone.

01:17:57Samedo is caught.

01:17:58The substitute

01:17:59Sideshvili.

01:18:08A real credit

01:18:09to the coach tonight

01:18:10really.

01:18:11Samuel more than

01:18:12three years in the job

01:18:13and he's really

01:18:14embraced what he calls

01:18:15the all or nothing

01:18:16mentality of the

01:18:17Georgian people.

01:18:19He knows there were

01:18:20famous critics

01:18:21of the rather

01:18:22contrived

01:18:23Nations League

01:18:24playoff route

01:18:25the

01:18:26the

01:18:27his team took

01:18:28to these finals

01:18:29but

01:18:30that's only made him

01:18:31and his team

01:18:32more determined

01:18:33to justify their

01:18:34presence

01:18:35and they have done

01:18:36just that.

01:18:37I believe they have

01:18:38Clyde.

01:18:39I mean this game

01:18:40obviously

01:18:41they can see

01:18:42as I mentioned

01:18:43earlier

01:18:44the opening two games

01:18:45I thought they played

01:18:46very very well.

01:18:47Unlucky just to come

01:18:48away with the one point.

01:18:49They have been

01:18:50organised

01:18:51I know there's still

01:18:52a bit to go in the game

01:18:53but their organisation

01:18:54defensively

01:18:55has been

01:18:56absolutely

01:18:57superb.

01:18:58That back five

01:18:59hasn't moved

01:19:00three boys in the

01:19:01middle of the park

01:19:02and the two lads

01:19:03up front

01:19:04really well organised.

01:19:06The only bad news

01:19:07for them is I'm not

01:19:08sure any of them

01:19:09are actually going to

01:19:10get Ronaldo's shirt now.

01:19:12He should be asking

01:19:13for one of theirs.

01:19:22Next up

01:19:24we'll see

01:19:25Roger Giotta in a moment.

01:19:27Just found a cross

01:19:28but again it's not

01:19:29an accurate cross.

01:19:31It's not optimistic

01:19:32though.

01:19:33Can't say so.

01:19:36That's more searching

01:19:37goalkeeper has to react.

01:19:38Mamedash really

01:19:39does react.

01:19:40He's a very positive

01:19:41goalkeeper.

01:19:45Tonight's performance

01:19:46is a very good goalkeeper.

01:19:48It's exactly what

01:19:49you want your goalkeeper

01:19:50to be doing

01:19:51at this stage.

01:19:53Roger's going to do

01:19:54him a little bit of cramp

01:19:55I think.

01:20:00There's a lot of emotion.

01:20:03Swirling around

01:20:04the stadium.

01:20:09He's also been doing

01:20:10some training on his

01:20:11own recently trying to

01:20:13fight off the latest

01:20:14in a succession of

01:20:15difficult injuries for

01:20:16him in the last 12

01:20:17months.

01:20:18Pedro Neto is going

01:20:19to make way.

01:20:23Here comes

01:20:24Diego Giotta of

01:20:25Liverpool.

01:20:32It's 30 minutes from

01:20:33the bench in the first

01:20:34game.

01:20:41And in addition to him

01:20:42we're going to see

01:20:43Matheus Nunes

01:20:45of Manchester City for

01:20:46the first time in the

01:20:47tournament.

01:20:48Gerard Neves, not 20

01:20:49yet.

01:20:50Goes off.

01:20:53Nunes who was actually

01:20:54called in as a

01:20:55late replacement

01:20:57to the squad

01:20:58when the Saudi-based

01:20:59midfield player

01:21:00Ottavio had to

01:21:01cry off through

01:21:02injury.

01:21:05Changes meanwhile

01:21:08for Georgia.

01:21:10Number five is

01:21:11Solomon Kukwelia

01:21:14who also plays in

01:21:15Saudi Arabia.

01:21:16He's actually played

01:21:17against Ronaldo this

01:21:18season.

01:21:19We're not going to

01:21:20play against him

01:21:22He's coming on for

01:21:23Galiciani.

01:21:24That's a straight

01:21:25squat in one of the

01:21:26three centre-back

01:21:27roles.

01:21:32He's been terrific

01:21:33along with his two

01:21:34sidekicks,

01:21:35Kashia

01:21:36and Lukashvili

01:21:37who obviously went

01:21:38off.

01:21:39And Diwali moved

01:21:40on one.

01:21:42The substitutions

01:21:43are necessary

01:21:44but they just give

01:21:45a little bit of

01:21:46breathing space for

01:21:47his team

01:21:48just to regather

01:21:49their thoughts.

01:21:53Picking on the target

01:21:54get through the next

01:21:55five, next five

01:21:56after that.

01:21:57Nearly there then.

01:22:12Long fight.

01:22:13Baraskalia

01:22:15gets away from

01:22:16Samedo.

01:22:17Not from Dallo

01:22:18though.

01:22:19Dallo did well

01:22:20helping Samedo

01:22:21out there because

01:22:22that was brilliant

01:22:23again from the

01:22:24wee feller.

01:22:33Sotts is playing

01:22:34from this right-hand

01:22:35side.

01:22:36Obviously Sass

01:22:37got under the

01:22:38leg now.

01:22:42Here is Diogo

01:22:43Jota.

01:22:45Mateus Nunes.

01:22:49Dallo.

01:22:50Samedo.

01:22:53Jota.

01:22:56Just have that

01:22:57little bit of

01:22:58ingenuity in tight

01:22:59spaces that maybe

01:23:00Portugal have lacked

01:23:01tonight.

01:23:03And you can finish.

01:23:12Ignacio.

01:23:16Charles Felix.

01:23:20Really good.

01:23:21Ruben Neves

01:23:22run off the ball.

01:23:24Chad Kortatze

01:23:25emerges with it

01:23:26again.

01:23:27Baraskalia.

01:23:29Siddhesh Vili

01:23:30has made an overlapping

01:23:31run here.

01:23:33Kortatze is waiting

01:23:34in the centre.

01:23:36Danilo has to cut it

01:23:37out at the expense

01:23:38of a corner.

01:23:41He did.

01:23:42And he had to.

01:23:44That man was coming

01:23:45right under his back.

01:23:51That's a good run

01:23:52there.

01:23:53A really good near-course

01:23:54run there from

01:23:55Kortatze.

01:23:57Couldn't take any

01:23:58chances.

01:23:59Talked a lot about

01:24:00pressure in the last

01:24:01few days.

01:24:02They're fearless.

01:24:03I mean,

01:24:04obviously expectations

01:24:05are nothing like

01:24:06those that England

01:24:07and others face,

01:24:08but the way they

01:24:09go for it.

01:24:12Baraskalia.

01:24:15Good ways by

01:24:16Gonzalo Ramos

01:24:17back there.

01:24:24Siddhesh Vili

01:24:25stayed forward here.

01:24:27Trying to get beyond

01:24:28Semedo as he held

01:24:29back now.

01:24:41I'd say so.

01:24:43A little bit nervous.

01:24:52Wild course really.

01:24:54Diogo Jota's foot

01:24:55in the air, but...

01:24:56How's the fizzy drink

01:24:57gone tonight?

01:24:58Gone a bit flat?

01:24:59He's gone a little bit flat.

01:25:00I think Roy's point,

01:25:01no.

01:25:04If he weren't with us

01:25:05all evening,

01:25:06that was Roy Keane's

01:25:07description of

01:25:08Joao Felix.

01:25:09Before a ball was

01:25:10kicked tonight,

01:25:11fizzy drink.

01:25:12I like a fizzy drink

01:25:13in certain situations.

01:25:14It's a hot night.

01:25:34Semedo.

01:25:37Still over ten minutes.

01:25:40Delo.

01:25:46Delo.

01:25:51Felix.

01:25:53He's a well-defined

01:25:54shotter here.

01:25:56He's got it stuck

01:25:57between his feet.

01:25:58Constellation Prize

01:25:59is a corner.

01:26:06Didn't go to get back

01:26:07there, did they?

01:26:11Ruben Neves.

01:26:17Danilo's there.

01:26:18It's not defended

01:26:19by Kashi again.

01:26:20Semedo.

01:26:21Charged down by

01:26:22Chak Patatse.

01:26:24Honestly, he's been

01:26:25terrific.

01:26:26He really has.

01:26:28He has walked

01:26:29his socks off.

01:26:32Obviously talking

01:26:33about Chak Patatse.

01:26:35He doesn't

01:26:36know what he's talking

01:26:37about.

01:26:38Chak Patatse.

01:26:40He looked less than

01:26:41pleased when he

01:26:42substituted against Turkey.

01:26:43He's only used

01:26:44in the last half hour

01:26:45against the Czech

01:26:46Republic.

01:26:48I think he's earned

01:26:49his place

01:26:50in the last 16

01:26:51in this performance

01:26:52tonight.

01:26:53Well,

01:26:55off goes the main man,

01:26:56the man who

01:26:58let the blue touch

01:26:59paper at the start

01:27:00of the night.

01:27:01Baric Scalia's goal

01:27:02just over a minute

01:27:03and a half into the game.

01:27:05Just look as if

01:27:06he might be heading

01:27:07to Paris Saint-Germain

01:27:08despite Napoli's

01:27:09efforts to keep him.

01:27:13He gives way

01:27:15to Zorico.

01:27:17Gary Tashvili

01:27:18of Bordeaux,

01:27:19French second tier,

01:27:20who

01:27:22was terrific at the

01:27:23start of the last game.

01:27:27He ran out of gas

01:27:28a little bit.

01:27:35I'll say so.

01:27:36That's a better cross.

01:27:38It was a good chance

01:27:39for Mateus Nunes.

01:27:42This time the header

01:27:43completely.

01:27:45They've kept up

01:27:46their intensity

01:27:47all night long.

01:27:48They have.

01:27:49That's what I was saying,

01:27:50Cléber.

01:27:51I'm really pleasantly

01:27:52surprised.

01:27:54Particularly the three

01:27:55boys in the middle.

01:27:56I mean,

01:27:57it's just

01:27:58fantastic.

01:27:59It's just

01:28:00fantastic.

01:28:01It's just

01:28:02fantastic.

01:28:03It's just

01:28:04fantastic.

01:28:05It's just

01:28:06fantastic.

01:28:07It's just

01:28:08fantastic.

01:28:09It's just

01:28:10fantastic.

01:28:11It's just

01:28:12fantastic.

01:28:13Particularly the three

01:28:14boys in the middle

01:28:15of the park.

01:28:16The three central

01:28:17defenders,

01:28:18I know they've

01:28:19changed them

01:28:20and they've been

01:28:21solid,

01:28:22but the three lads

01:28:23in the middle of the

01:28:24park have

01:28:25walked their

01:28:26socks off.

01:28:29Ruben Neves.

01:28:31I'll say so.

01:28:32Ah,

01:28:33terrific challenge.

01:28:34Kakabadse

01:28:35stabs the foot

01:28:36and wins it cleanly.

01:28:37Runs it out

01:28:38of danger.

01:28:41Great challenge.

01:28:42And then takes it

01:28:43in the run.

01:28:45Gets the throw in.

01:28:47Which is just as

01:28:48important as the initial

01:28:49challenge.

01:28:50Gives him a little bit

01:28:51of a break again.

01:28:52Excellent defendant,

01:28:53Kakabadse.

01:28:5429th birthday

01:28:55tomorrow.

01:28:56Doesn't he be getting

01:28:57up too early?

01:28:58Oh, no.

01:29:01And he's

01:29:02having breakfast

01:29:03in bed tomorrow.

01:29:09There he is again

01:29:10defending his flank.

01:29:12OK, but he doesn't

01:29:13want this.

01:29:15It's a typical

01:29:16ricochet.

01:29:17It's a

01:29:18Portugal throw.

01:29:27Another really

01:29:28cool cross.

01:29:29Ruben Neves.

01:29:30What a shocking

01:29:31delivery that.

01:29:33That's the one place

01:29:34you don't put it.

01:29:35You can

01:29:36excuse to a certain

01:29:37degree going long

01:29:38or short.

01:29:39You can't put it

01:29:40over the bar.

01:29:42It's funny, you know,

01:29:43it's only eight years

01:29:44since Portugal won

01:29:45this tournament in

01:29:46France.

01:29:47They've won the

01:29:48Nations League since

01:29:49then too.

01:29:50Which were

01:29:51Confederators Cup

01:29:52semi-final.

01:29:53Only once in the last

01:29:5420 years or more

01:29:55have they failed to

01:29:56get out of their

01:29:57group at a major

01:29:58championship.

01:29:59So they're going to

01:30:00do that.

01:30:01But when they won

01:30:02the Euros in 2016

01:30:03they actually started

01:30:04with three straight

01:30:05draws in the group.

01:30:06I remember it, Will.

01:30:07Qualified as a

01:30:08third place team.

01:30:10We've seen

01:30:11matches in the last

01:30:12several, I hope,

01:30:13the last 10, 11 days

01:30:14but we'll forget them

01:30:15if the knockout

01:30:16phase is

01:30:18anything like

01:30:19as in Beijing.

01:30:22Got to be

01:30:24a yellow card

01:30:25there for that

01:30:27attempt to stop

01:30:29the breakaway.

01:30:30And it is indeed

01:30:32for the

01:30:34Georgia

01:30:35number 20.

01:30:37Makla Bishkeli.

01:30:41Got to answer

01:30:42how elusive is he?

01:30:43How much is he

01:30:44enjoying himself here?

01:30:45I'm telling you,

01:30:46Clive, he can run.

01:30:47Oh, it's a fabulous

01:30:48pass.

01:30:50Smashed into the

01:30:51side netting by

01:30:52David Tashvili.

01:30:53He shouldn't take a

01:30:54touch.

01:30:55He shouldn't take a

01:30:56touch.

01:30:57It's just not good

01:30:58that he's had his

01:30:59right foot

01:31:00back across.

01:31:02Oh,

01:31:03he's got

01:31:04it.

01:31:05He's got

01:31:06it.

01:31:07He's got it.

01:31:08He's got it.

01:31:09He's got it.

01:31:11What a break

01:31:12that was.

01:31:13An actually

01:31:14fantastic play

01:31:15from Mikhail Tajid.

01:31:17That's probably the

01:31:18first mistake Baratskili

01:31:19has made.

01:31:20He should just have

01:31:21knocked up the

01:31:22outside of his right

01:31:23foot.

01:31:24He's an

01:31:25Ajax player

01:31:26signed for

01:31:27£40 million

01:31:28a year ago

01:31:29but he couldn't

01:31:30win a place there.

01:31:31He was loaned

01:31:32back to Nets

01:31:33in France.

01:31:34Scots and

01:31:35goals at the

01:31:36back end of

01:31:37last season.

01:31:38His profile is

01:31:39still

01:31:40the same.

01:31:41He's the

01:31:42leading scorer

01:31:43at this tournament

01:31:44at the moment.

01:31:45Couple of

01:31:46penalties fine

01:31:47but

01:31:48he's

01:31:49caught me

01:31:50high.

01:31:51That's

01:31:52brilliant.

01:31:53Brilliant

01:31:54run.

01:31:55I guess he's

01:31:56chasing it.

01:31:57Oh,

01:31:58what a run.

01:31:59He just

01:32:00peels away

01:32:01from Daniil.

01:32:02It was

01:32:03an excellent

01:32:04run.

01:32:05Not this

01:32:06time.

01:32:07He knows

01:32:08there's

01:32:09nobody in

01:32:10the right

01:32:11back area

01:32:12for Portugal

01:32:13and he's

01:32:14got all

01:32:15that space

01:32:16to run

01:32:17into and

01:32:18it was an

01:32:19excellent pass

01:32:20to him.

01:32:21Coming back

01:32:22a bit slower

01:32:23than he went

01:32:24forward.

01:32:25I don't

01:32:26blame him.

01:32:27There's

01:32:28an

01:32:29electrical

01:32:30storm

01:32:31breaking

01:32:32out around

01:32:33Gelson

01:32:34Kierkegaard

01:32:35at the

01:32:36moment.

01:32:37A

01:32:38bit of

01:32:39blue sky

01:32:40day.

01:32:41I'm sure I've

01:32:42been to a

01:32:43game yet

01:32:44where it

01:32:45hasn't

01:32:46rained.

01:32:47They used

01:32:48to have

01:32:49any night

01:32:50or two

01:32:51in Georgia

01:32:52to be

01:32:53fair,

01:32:54aren't

01:32:55they?

01:32:56Apologies.

01:32:57Are you

01:32:58taking the

01:32:59midnight

01:33:00train tonight

01:33:01or not?

01:33:02We

01:33:03could go

01:33:04on.

01:33:05It's

01:33:06a

01:33:07rather

01:33:08new

01:33:09nation.

01:33:10Football

01:33:11is

01:33:12arguably not

01:33:13the biggest

01:33:14sport.

01:33:15It's a

01:33:16huge rugby

01:33:17country.

01:33:18But this

01:33:19is almost

01:33:20certainly

01:33:21the greatest

01:33:22night in

01:33:23Georgian

01:33:24international

01:33:25football

01:33:26history.

01:33:27That rugby

01:33:28team is

01:33:29coached

01:33:30by an

01:33:31Englishman

01:33:32as well,

01:33:33am I

01:33:35right?

01:33:36That's

01:33:37the

01:33:38Englishman

01:33:39who is

01:33:40coaching

01:33:41them.

01:33:42They're

01:33:43trying to

01:33:44run it

01:33:45out of

01:33:46trouble,

01:33:47but you

01:33:48just don't

01:33:49get to

01:33:50run

01:33:51against

01:33:52Georgia.

01:33:53That's

01:33:54just a

01:33:55desire to

01:33:56work hard

01:33:57for each

01:33:58other.

01:33:59Organisation

01:34:00obviously as

01:34:01well.

01:34:02He's got a solid defender and a bit of flair, a bit of pace.

01:34:09I've enjoyed this, you know.

01:34:11And they're a nuisance.

01:34:13That's what they are more than anything, with or without the ball, they pester you.

01:34:18I like them to a swarm of flies in the first half,

01:34:21it's like playing against 11 excited puppies.

01:34:28Drop Felix.

01:34:30Just keep jumping up at you.

01:34:40Portugal running out of time.

01:34:43Drop Felix.

01:34:45Portugal will win the group, let's not forget that.

01:34:48The two opening pitches will secure that.

01:34:51But Georgia are going to qualify with them as it stands.

01:34:59How many crosses have we seen over here?

01:35:06That's...

01:35:07That Noce Mateus Luna has got to do well.

01:35:09I mean, there's just no excuse to that, really.

01:35:14I said before, at that level you put it out of pitch, that's unacceptable.

01:35:21I mean, Pepe, Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao...

01:35:29Joao Cancelo, Vitinha are his players and we haven't seen any of them tonight.

01:35:34We shouldn't forget that.

01:35:35Yeah.

01:35:50There were five Georgian players who came into this game,

01:35:53a yellow card away from missing the next game.

01:35:57And they've all escaped the wrath of the referee so far, so...

01:36:02A couple of players still coming back from injury.

01:36:05We've seen Kitesh Veli for the first time tonight.

01:36:08They'll hope to get Shengelia, their usual left-wing back fifth, for the first time.

01:36:12They've got another four minutes to see out here.

01:36:19But Portugal have been tame.

01:36:22They forgot to bring the scissors tonight.

01:36:25They just haven't had any cutting edge.

01:36:39Mateus Nunes.

01:36:41Joao Felix.

01:36:47Here's a chance for Samedo!

01:36:50They shall not pass.

01:36:52Somehow they find an outstretched leg,

01:36:55they find an extra barrier, another body on the line,

01:36:59and Mama Dash Veli grabs it.

01:37:01Yeah.

01:37:02He slips, doesn't he?

01:37:05Good save, big hand.

01:37:07Deserves his little bit of luck with his defender standing there, he really does.

01:37:11Dash Veli slips initially, then it comes off him.

01:37:16You know, without having a great deal to do,

01:37:20like a big Valencia goalkeeper,

01:37:23Mama Dash Veli has been excellent.

01:37:25As they all have, Clive.

01:37:26I mean, to man, they've been absolutely terrific.

01:37:28They really have.

01:37:30Alcacer.

01:37:32Turned away again.

01:37:35Coquelia got it away this time.

01:37:39Struggling to get back to his feet.

01:37:41The masseurs will be busy tomorrow.

01:37:43Oh, yeah.

01:37:49Joao Felix.

01:37:51Can't find the key.

01:37:52Look at the way he's closed down.

01:37:54He really is.

01:37:55He comes inside.

01:37:57Koshore Ashvili.

01:37:58And he's side-kicked in the middle of the park.

01:38:00I think it was definitely Dash Veli's there to block him as well.

01:38:03They've worked so hard together.

01:38:05In gangs.

01:38:07In by Joao Felix.

01:38:09In by Joao Felix.

01:38:11Headed away as far as Mateus Nunez.

01:38:14Konsei Sao.

01:38:15Oh!

01:38:16And still he won't go in.

01:38:18Shorter had a chance.

01:38:19Gonzalo Ramos had a chance.

01:38:21Couldn't find the critical touch.

01:38:23I think Konsei Sao's got to hit this with his right foot.

01:38:25I think he's got to bend that.

01:38:27He takes it with his left foot.

01:38:28I get it.

01:38:29And he's a little bit unlucky.

01:38:30Hits it across the face of the goal.

01:38:31Goes through the defender's legs.

01:38:33Do you know something?

01:38:34I don't think you can grudge them that little bit of fortune as well.

01:38:36He's absolutely ecstatic.

01:38:38And he probably deserves his clean sheet.

01:38:39He really does, Clive.

01:38:45Against the odds.

01:38:46What a night for them.

01:38:53They're not actually staying in the city.

01:38:54And I'm kind of grateful for that.

01:38:57It's without a doubt been the most organised, disciplined

01:38:59performance in the tournament so far by a country mile.

01:39:11Charles Felix.

01:39:17This can't break.

01:39:18It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:19It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:20It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:21It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:22It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:23It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:24It's a bit of a shame.

01:39:26This can't break through the red wall.

01:39:30Dalot!

01:39:31It's another good save.

01:39:32Eastfords the two best stops we've seen tonight

01:39:34from Mummah Dash very effortsome range

01:39:38from Diogo Dalo.

01:39:41He has.

01:39:44Again it's a comfortable save.

01:39:45A good and a competent one.

01:39:52Ruben Neves.

01:39:55Goncalo Ramos trying to fight his corner at the near post but there's always a

01:40:00defender just a little bit more determined, Paquelia that time.

01:40:11Ruben Neves, defended brilliantly again, Kachorashvili got it away that time.

01:40:18What a header it is. This is a nation of just 4 million people, this is a team

01:40:25ranked 74 in the world and this is the greatest night in the history of Georgian

01:40:32international football. They've come to their first major tournament finals, they

01:40:39have beaten Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal and they have qualified for the

01:40:45knockout rounds and the European Championship finals are bitter for

01:40:50having them. They play with conviction, they play with spirit, unbelievable

01:40:57energy, no little skill, they are backed by passionate fans who know just what

01:41:03this means to the identity of their nation and they will celebrate long into

01:41:09this famous night because Georgia have beaten Portugal by two goals to nil.

01:41:23Sometimes we can exaggerate and say the greatest this, the greatest that and

01:41:27this is the first time Georgia have ever qualified for a major championship and

01:41:31they're into the knockout stages. I think we can say this is the greatest night in

01:41:34their football history. Fully deserved, they were outstanding tonight. It wasn't a
