The U21 European Championship has started. Fellow host country Georgia surprises right at home in Tbilisi. The debutant defeated the favorite Portuguese in Group A 2-0. Both goals come in the first half (37th and 45th).
Portugal lost to Germany in the final two years ago. The qualification for the event in Romania and Georgia was convincing. Ten games resulted in nine wins, one draw and an impressive goal difference of 41:3. And now, after the opening defeat, the team of Rui Jorge (50) is already under pressure.
Spain sovereign, Holland with a draw
The opponent is the Netherlands on Saturday, Belgium on Tuesday. These two countries started the tournament in Tbilisi with a 0-0 draw. In Group B, Ukraine beat Croatia 2-0 in Bucharest.
In the same group, the Spaniards defeated hosts Romania. A brace within seven minutes (55th and 62nd) and the goal in extra time from ManCity kicker Sergio Gomez (95th) sealed the 3-0 opening win for the five-time U21 European champions (record, jointly with Italy).
The Swiss U21s have their first appearance on Thursday (6 p.m. in the live ticker). The team of Patrick Framework (54) will compete with Norway in Cluj-Napoca. (yup)
