In the quarter-finals, the Georgians will face the Czech team if Jan Suchopárek’s men get at least a point in the match against Israel on Wednesday. The first known pair in the playoffs is England – Portugal.
In front of a record attendance of 43,000 spectators in Tbilisi, Davitashvili gave the home team the lead in the 42nd minute, who brilliantly went through the entire Dutch defense and opened the scoring. Although the opponent equalized in the first half, the result was only the third Dutch draw in the championship.
