Based on the FIFA Men's World Ranking, Georgia's win was the biggest upset in UEFA European Championship history, with 68 places separating Portugal (6th) and Georgia (74th),[17] breaking the record set by Slovakia's win over Belgium in Group E on 17 June.[18]
With 19 yellow cards shown, this match broke the European Championship record for the most cautions among both teams in a single match. Antonín Barák was sent off after 20 minutes, also a tournament record.
Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[4]
yellow card = 1 point
red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
direct red card = 3 points
yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player or team official in a single match.
