Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze scored for the Georgians, who will face Spain in a historic clash as they also progressed from Group F.

He was substituted by Martinez after 66 minutes, replaced by Goncalo Ramos, and showed his frustration by kicking the turf as he made his way to the bench.
