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),[8] breaking the record set by Slovakia's win over Belgium in Group E on 17 June.[9]

Discipline
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:[3]
- 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.
| Team | Match 1 | Match 2 | Match 3 | Points |
|---|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|
| 1 | | | | 4 | | | | 1 | | | | −6 |
|---|
| 2 | | | | 2 | | | | 3 | | | | −7 |
|---|
| 1 | | | | 5 | | | | 5 | 1 | 1 | | −17 |
