Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal had already secured their place in the last 16 as the winners of Group F, prompting their coach Roberto Martinez to make eight changes to the lineup. Georgia took the lead within the first two minutes, courtesy of a superb finish from their standout player, Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Cristiano Ronaldo, at 39, who holds the Euros record with 14 goals, is still waiting for his first goal in this year’s tournament.
