Diogo Jota appeared off the bench for already-qualified Portugal as they concluded the group stage of Euro 2024 with a 2-0 defeat by Georgia on Wednesday night.

The forward came on in the 75th minute for the Group F winners, who were beaten by goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze in Gelsenkirchen.

Jota had a pretty fine performance with 100% Accurate passes (9/9), 1 Chances created, 11 Touches, 2 Touches in opposition box

Minute 90+2, Conceicao made an uncomfortable cross, but Jota and Ramos both missed the goal in front of an open goal.

Ronaldo’s effort was not enough to bring a goal. In the match, Georgia defended very disciplined. Portugal’s number 7 even received a yellow card in the first half for a reactionary error, after he fell in the penalty area due to his shirt being pulled by a Georgia player.

The 39-year-old striker ended the group stage without scoring any goals, so he could not extend his record of 15 goals at EURO.

Results also meant Dominik Szoboszlai’s Hungary did not qualify for the knockouts as a best third-placed team.

Jota will be one of seven Liverpool players involved in the last 16, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate.
