Georgia vs Portugal

edit

Based on the FIFA Men's World Ranking, Georgia's win was the biggest upset in UEFA European Championship history, with 68 places separating Portugal (6th) and Georgia (74th),[17] breaking the record set by Slovakia's win over Belgium in Group E on 17 June.[18] However, Portugal fielded a largely second-string team, with only three of the starting eleven having started the previous game against Turkey, as Portugal were guaranteed to win the group no matter their result against Georgia.

Discipline

edit

Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[4]

  • yellow card = 1 point
  • red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
  • direct red card = 3 points
  • yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player or team official in a single match.

Team Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Points
                                   
  Georgia 1 4 1 −6
  Portugal 2 2 3 −7
  Czech Republic 1 5 5 1 1 −17
  Turkey 2 3 12[a] −17
  1. ^ Count includes a card for a technical staff member of the team
