Viaplay provided live coverage of the match from the match in Tbilisi for fans in the United Kingdom.

However, viewers were let fuming on social media as the coverage switched to Wales vs Poland moments before the end of extra-time.

Wales and Poland also met in a playoff tie in Cardiff but at a later kick-off time to the match in Georgia.

Reacting on social media, one fan wrote: “Have Viaplay just stopped live coverage two minutes before penalties in Georgia vs Greece? Surely not.”

Another fumed: “Viaplay making the worst business decision of the year cutting off Georgia vs Greece penalties, outrageous.”

A third fan also added: “So Viaplay has literally switched to Wales’ playoff game right before the penalty shootout between Georgia and Greece began. I mean… how on earth?!”

Georgia went on to win 4-2 on penalties to qualify for the Euros and their first major tournament.

The Crusaders join Turkey, Portugal and the Czech Republic in group F after progressing from the play-offs.
