Georgia: Georgians cry scandal!

End of course for Georgia. After a very good group stage, Georges Mikautadze’s band was unable to do anything against this great Spanish team on Sunday evening, losing with a heavy score of 4-1. A heavy defeat, but it should be noted that during the first forty-five minutes, the Georgians held their own against La Roja quite well.

They had opened the scoring and resisted the Spanish attacks rather well, before the difference in individual talent and technical quality took effect. Rodri’s equalising goal is also marked by controversy, since some believe that Alvaro Morata, in an offside situation, was in the path of the shot and that he therefore participated in the action, even without touching the ball.

Sagnol is angry

At the final whistle, coach Willy Sagnol railed against the refereeing, and repeated the offence in a press conference. “Morata is clearly in an offside position on the shot. We see it in the image, our goalkeeper is forced to move to get the ball. I think there was a power cut on the VAR bus. If we canceled the Dutch goal against France, for an offside by Dumfries, then there were ten times more reasons to cancel this Spanish goal this evening. If we had gone into the break leading 1-0, we would have had more energy in the second half.”explained the Frenchman, who nevertheless added that Spain deserved its victory.

“Morata is 100% offside on the first goal. We probably still would have lost, but for me it was offside. He was in front of me, I was on the right and Rodri shoots to my left”explained Giorgi Mamrdashvili, author of another great performance despite the 4 goals conceded. He nevertheless indicated that he saw Spain beating Germany and going all the way. See you on Friday…
