• Late winner boosts Georgia before meeting with Scots
• Belgium held by Austria despite Romelu Lukaku’s equaliser

Georgia beat Cyprus 2-1 in Larnaca to maintain pressure on Scotland ahead of their European Championship qualifying clash in Glasgow on Tuesday.

A late goal from Zuriko Davitashvili after Georges Mikautadze’s opener had been cancelled out by a Ioannis Pittas penalty made it four points from two games for Georgia, five behind Group A leaders Scotland, who have played an extra game, following their dramatic victory over Norway.
