Spain vs Georgia LIVE! Euro 2024 result, match stream and latest updates today
Stylish Spain recovered from the shock of conceding an early own goal to eventually overrun a tireless and spirited Georgia 4-1 on Sunday and surge into a mouth-watering Euro 2024 quarter-final with Germany.
After withstanding a near-constant early assault, with outstanding keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili making several good saves, Georgia stunned the crowd by taking the lead with their first attack after 18 minutes when Otar Kakabadze'ss fizzing cross was diverted into his own net by the chest of Spain's Robin Le Normand.
The Spaniards levelled the last-16 contest through Rodri from the edge of the box in the 39th minute and, after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia almost scored a stunning second from near the halfway line for the tournament outsiders, Fabian Ruiz headed Spain ahead six minutes into the second half.
Spain continued to press and probe but the Georgians ran themselves ragged to keep them at bay until Nico Williams finally broke clear to slam in the third, with Dani Olmo neatly tucking home the fourth goal seven minutes from time to secure their fourth win of the tournament.

Georgia in dreamland after Euro 2024 miracle as they plot Spain shock
17:52 , Jonathan Gorrie
As the streets of Tbilisi erupted in celebration, Georgia star man Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was left in no doubt about the magnitude of their famous win over Portugal on Wednesday night.
“This the best day in the lives of Georgians,” said Kvaratskhelia after a 2-0 victory in Gelsenkirchen sealed a spot in the last 16 of Euro 2024.
“We just made history. Nobody believed we would defeat Portugal, but this is why we’re a strong team. We just encourage each other and said that we could do it.
“Even if there is just a one per cent chance, we proved that you can make it happen. I’d love to see what’s happening in Tbilisi.”

It would be a truly monumental occasion if Georgia can take this game to extra-time, let alone win it. But Spain are looking seriously good and should have enough to reach the last eight in comfortable enough fashion.
Spain to win, 2-0.
Georgia team news vs Spain today
17:01 , Jonathan Gorrie
Georgia will set up to defend deep and hit Spain on the counter-attack in today’s last-16 encounter at Euro 2024.
Anzor Mekvabishvili is suspended having picked up a second booking in the historic win over Portugal but had already been dropped to the bench for that tie, meaning Watford’s Giorgi Chakvetadze should continue in the midfield.
In defence, Willy Sagnol swapped Giorgi Gvelesiani and Luka Lochoshvili in for Solomon Kvirkvelia and Giorgi Tsitaishvili last time out but is expected to return to his previous starters here.
A 5-3-2 formation will likely be favoured again in Cologne with the fearsome strike duo of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Euros top scorer Georges Mikautadze sparking attacks on the break.
Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has also continued to enhance his reputation at the tournament and will continue between the sticks.
Spain team news vs Georgia today
17:00 , Jonathan Gorrie
Spain have a couple of key selection decisions to make for today’s clash with Georgia in the last-16 of Euro 2024.
Ten changes were made to the line-up which beat Albania to round off their group stage having already sealed top spot and what is, on paper at least, a favourable match-up in the knockouts.
Aymeric Laporte was the only player to survive the rotations and he faces a battle with Nacho Fernandez to partner Robin Le Normand at the back for a team which is yet to concede a goal in Germany.
A muscle injury has kept Nacho on the sidelines for the last two matches and he is a doubt for this evening’s game, with Ayoze Perez also a question mark after missing out last Monday.
Rodri is back from a one-game ban and should be joined by Fabian Ruiz and Pedri in the midfield, although the latter’s place might be under threat from Dani Olmo after his display last time out.
Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams are set to replace Mikel Oyarzabal and Ferran Torres, who scored the winner against Albania, with Alvaro Morata returning up front.
