Under-21 European Championship debut: Portugal stunned by co-hosts Georgia, Ukraine defeats Croatia, Spain proves too strong for Romania

Posted : 22 June 2023
In the UEFA Under-21 EURO matches, Georgia surprised Portugal with a 2-0 victory, Ukraine defeated Croatia 2-0, and Spain spoiled Romania's party with a 3-0 win.
 
Georgia achieved a shock victory in their group stage debut against Portugal. Despite Portugal's dominance in possession, Georgia scored with both of their shots on target. Giorgi Gagua showed strength and composure to control a lofted pass and finish for the first goal.

Saba Sazonov then scored from a corner with a precise header. Despite several chances, Portugal failed to find the net, and Tomás Araújo received a red card.
 
In the match between the Netherlands and Belgium, both teams had opportunities but couldn't break the deadlock. Kenneth Taylor hit the post for the Netherlands, and Koni De Winter cleared the ball off the Belgian goal line twice.

The Netherlands' Devyne Rensch deflected a free-kick onto his own bar, and goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen made impressive saves to keep a clean sheet for the Netherlands.
 
Ukraine took the lead against Croatia with a fantastic goal from Oleksiy Kashchuk, who danced into the box and finished with precision.

Danylo Sikan then headed in a cross from Kashchuk to make it 2-0. Croatia had more attempts but struggled to find the target, with Luka Stojković hitting the bar from close range.
 
Spain, the favorites, started their campaign with a win against deep-lying opponents. The game remained goalless at halftime, but Spain remained patient.

Álex Baena and Juan Miranda scored quickfire goals around the hour mark to put Spain in the lead. Mihai Popa made several saves for Romania, but Sergio Gómez's deflected late free-kick beat him. Spain showcased their winning form and will be a strong team to watch.
