In a thrilling Group F encounter at Euro 2024, teenager Arda Guler stole the show as Turkey triumphed over Georgia in Dortmund. Turkey’s Mert Muldur set the stage with an outrageous volley into the top corner in the 25th minute. Georgia quickly responded with their first-ever goal in a major tournament, courtesy of Georges Mikautadze’s expertly guided strike.

The real magic came in the 65th minute when Real Madrid’s young star, Guler, curled a sublime shot from 25 yards into the top corner, becoming the youngest player to score on his Euros debut at just 19 years and 114 days, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record. Despite Georgia’s valiant effort, including hitting the bar and a late goal-line block, Turkey sealed their victory with a last-second goal from Kerem Akturkoglu.

Dortmund’s famous yellow wall turned red as Turkish fans celebrated manager Vincenzo Montella’s 50th birthday with a crucial three points. Turkey next faces Portugal, while Georgia takes on the Czech Republic, carrying hope and heart from their historic debut.
