Schick's equaliser ensured Czechia avoided a second successive defeat, cancelling out Georges Mikautadze's penalty in an entertaining affair.

Schick, who netted five times at UEFA Euro 2020 to tie Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the goal-scoring charts, is now his country's all-time leading marksman at the European championships with six goals, overtaking Milan Baros outright. No player has matched his return across the last two editions of the tournament.

However, Czechia will be lamenting a host of missed chances after firing off 27 shots to Georgia's five, hitting the target 12 times, the most by any team to fail to win a European championships match since record began in 1980.

It could have been hit with a sucker punch in second-half stoppage-time, but Georgia's Saba Lobjanidze fired over when played clean through on goal.

"Of course, 1-1 is not enough for us. We were better, we had more chances," the Bayer Leverkusen striker said.

"We were able to equalise, we were going at them but we were not able to score a second goal and in the end we made a stupid mistake and could have lost.

"We have a point. We have to play for everything in the last match."

The draw leaves both teams on one point with one game remaining. Czechia face Turkiye in its final Group F match, while Georgia takes on guaranteed group winner Portugal.

Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili said of Lobjanidze's chance: "He was the one who wanted to score most of all, but it didn't work out.

"He needs to continue training and playing, he's a great football player and he will definitely score a goal in the coming matches.

"Of course, it was a very important moment, but he needs to keep going. He should be proud because we earned our first point.

"From above, everything seems easier, but it is very difficult to perform in those situations because you have less time than it seems. Whatever he did, he did it right, but he didn't score."

Mamardashvili was named man of the match after making 11 saves, a tally that has only once been bettered in a European championships match since 1980, by Latvia's Alexanders Kolinko versus Netherlands in 2004, when he saved 12.
