In the 34-year history of the Georgian national team, never once had the eastern European nation qualified for a major tournament - until they beat Greece in a qualifying play-off in March.

"I hope that taking part will bring both the federation and the nation of Georgia an experience that will spur us on to new feats in the future," head coach Willy Sagnol told UEFA.tv earlier in June.

If their opener against Turkey is anything to go by, the future is certainly bright.

They weathered an early storm in a hostile atmosphere in Dortmund, found a deserved, historic equaliser and continued to push even when Arda Guler's stunner put them on the back foot for a second time. There were even several chances to level again late on, before Kerem Akturkoglu added the late gloss.

The 3-1 scoreline did not tell the full story: Georgia had five big chances, hit five shots on target, struck the woodwork twice and generated an xG of 1.59.

The tests do not get any easier, on paper, at least. On Saturday, Sagnol's side face the Czech Republic and next Tuesday, they take on Portugal. But if Georgia deliver similarly gutsy performances over the next week, they will give them both a run for their money.
