GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany -- Fans came to Gelsenkirchen to see the Portugal No.7 Cristiano Ronaldo make more history, but left the Arena AufSchalke having seen Georgia's No.7 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, spurred on by over 15,000 of his fellow countrymen, lead his nation into the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first-ever time.
This was a night on the Rhein that will live long in the memory of Napoli winger Kvaratskhelia, who scored the first goal in a 2-0 win, and every other Georgian, whether watching at the stadium or on a screen back in the capital city, Tbilisi, who witnessed the 74th-ranked team in FIFA's rankings beat the sixth best.
