  • Georgia begins the European Under-21 Championship at home in Group A, with a win over Portugal.
  • There is no winner in the title fights in Romania and Georgia between Belgium and the Netherlands.
  • In the second group, Spain and Ukraine celebrate the first victories.

Group A: Georgia with a coup

  • Georgia 2-0 Portugal

EM got off to a perfect start for the co-hosts. Georgia surprisingly scored three points against one of the favorites in the capital, Tbilisi. The goals came from Giorgi Jagua and Sazonov within 8 minutes of the end of the first half. And the Portuguese Francisco Conceicao, who plays for Ajax Amsterdam, missed the biggest opportunity in the goal, as it hit the crossbar. After an emergency brake from Tomás Araujo, the Lusitanians went down to ten from the 76th minute.

  • Belgium – Netherlands 0-0

“Derby der Lage Landen” did not live up to the high expectations. Kenneth Taylor squandered the Netherlands’ early lead in the eighth minute. His shot rebounded off the post and returned to the field. It was also Taylor who gave up his place to the Basel Waterburger side in the 64th minute. On the other hand, Michel Ange Balikuesha and Luis Obinda, who also recently appeared in the Belgium squad, had the best chances to score.

The second set: Kishjok steals the show from Modric

Thanks to star of the match Oleksiy Kashchuk, Ukraine’s first three points of the finals are in the drought. In Bucharest, the striker scored the opening goal against Croatia himself in the 19th minute and set up the second right after the break. Danilo Sekan finished in the 48th minute. The real star of the Ukrainian national team in the service of Chelsea, Myklo Modryk, could not shine with a point scorer. Former FCZ player Bohdan Viunnyk made a partial 19-minute appearance.

  • Romania – Spain 0: 3

Spain controlled the game at will and had nearly 80 percent of the ball against the other hosts. The Iberians only broke the spell after the break. Alex Baena, Juan Miranda and Sergio Gomez scored in the clear win.
