Georgia - one step away from the European Championship © AFP

The Georgian national team, even without Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, took the penultimate step towards the European Football Championship.

The Georgians defeated Luxembourg national team 2-0 in the semi-finals of the qualifiers.

The victory was brought by Zivzivadze's "double."

Luxembourg's defender Maxime Chanot received a red card in the 56th minute for a last-ditch foul. This greatly disrupted the visitors' chances in the fight for a ticket to the Euros.

In the qualifiers final, Georgia will face the winner of the Greece-Kazakhstan pair. Kvaratskhelia, who was suspended for three yellow cards, may also be able to play in that match.
