Jota off the Bench as last 16 draw confirmed

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.

Elsewhere in the section, Vitezslav Jaros was an unused substitute in Czechia's 2-1 loss to Turkey that confirmed their elimination.

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.
