In the first round of the Nations League, which took place on September 7, Albania played an away match against Ukraine. Albania was the favorite, but at the start of the second half, they conceded a goal to the Ukrainians. However, they quickly responded, equalizing in the 54th minute and then scoring a second goal just 12 minutes later. The team managed to maintain their narrow advantage and secured a 2:1 victory.
It was a surprising but crucial win, especially in the fight for survival in League B. In the previous campaign, Albania collected only two points from four matches and finished third in their group. However, Albania qualified for the UEFA Euro 2024, ending up in the “Group of Death” with Italy, Spain, and Croatia. In those matches, Albania earned three points and was eliminated from the tournament.
Georgia started the new UEFA Nations League campaign incredibly successfully. In their first match, they played against the Czech Republic. They scored one goal in the first half, but after the break, the Georgians scored three goals in 13 minutes to make it 4:0. The Czechs could only respond with one goal. The match ended in a decisive 4:1 victory for Georgia. Additionally, the Georgians performed well in the UEFA Euro 2024.
In the first game of the tournament, they lost 1:3, then drew 1:1 with the Czechs, and in their final match, Georgia defeated Portugal 2:0 to advance to the knockout stages. In the Round of 16, they lost 1:4 to Spain. Despite this, Georgia takes pride in their achievement, as it was their first Euro, and they were welcomed as true heroes back home.
