It was the 82nd minute when Gulverd Tomashvili played well in defense. He assisted Giorgi Iluridze and No.10 of “Dila” assisted Grigol Dolidze who scored goal – 1:0. It was a beautiful goal…
The goal of “Dila” was logical: Giorgi Devdariani had better tactic than Croatia Igor Tudor. “Hajduk” attacked but the hosts played more effectively. Devdariani made good substitution. Dolidze showed up on the field and he broke left wing of the Croatians in 15 minutes.
5 years ago on this day Gori and the whole Georgia was not on the mood of playing football. This city had horrible days, today the city is celebrating – “Dila” made through to the play-off of Europa League twice in a row.
…Giorgi Devdariani used his tactic scheme: captain Aleksandre Kvakhadze replaced disqualified Otar Khizaneishvili. We saw inaccurate shots of Kis and Iluridze in the first 10 minutes.
It is interesting that in the first match Iluridze scored goal at the 24th minute and it would have been pleasant if we had done it in Tbilisi too. Croatian right defender Mikanovic threw the ball out and hit club manager Gia Isiani. We remember Mikanovic with his provocations in Split.
“Hajduk” possessed the ball in the last 15 minutes of the half but attacks of “Dila” were more effective.
The both teams played carefully at the beginning of the second half. At the 60th minute Bencun had a chance to score a goal but he did not shoot. The team of Devdariani held good 10 minutes. Gongadze and Aladashvili were very active. At the 66th minute Kalinic parried the headshot of Modebadze.
After the mentioned 10 minutes “Hajduk” strengthened offence: Mujan kicked the ball and it touched crossbar and Nikri Revishvili parried the shot of Caktas.
Four matches without being scored goal – Revishvili was calm and played well. Now Igor Tudor can invent new sayings: we do not worry what he will say but he must know that the team which played football better won.
Post-match:
Igor Tudor: ‘I congratulate the opponent on victory. We played better but “Dila” made through to the next round”.
Giorgi Devdariani: “We held today’s match better. Our counter-offences are worth mentioning. Our substitutions work well. I am satisfied and I want to thank fans and journalists for their attention.
…New players? Irakli Maisuradze will join us. Nobody else yet”.
We told the comment of Tudor to Devdariani and he was not surprised: “Tudor was a good player but I cannot say the same about him as a coach and a tactful person. In Croatia he was mocking us. Let them count dangerous moments”.
