Heavy snowfall left its mark in the competition schedule. Several matches were postponed. In this round, “Torpedo” will play “home” match in Mtskheta, “Sioni” – in Rustavi, and the case of “Zestafoni” is still unclear...
Metalurgi (Rustavi) – Guria (Lanchkhuti)
December 14. Rustavi. “Poladi.” 14:00
Disqualified: Anzor Sukhiashvili, Beka Tugushi (“Metalurgi”); Tengiz Chikviladze (“Guria”)
Referees: L. Silagava, L. Todria, B. Chichinadze, A. Nonikashvili (substitute)
In the first circle – 1:3
The things for ambitious “Metalurg”, compared to the last year, goes better this year. They are thinking about the six or possibly about the three, but defeat with “Spartak”, perhaps, should be important. “Guria” is really outstanding team – their salaries are not paid, the conditions do not exist but they beat almost everyone...
Torpedo (Kutaisi) – Zugdidi
December 14. Mtskheta. “Mtskheta Park.” 14:00
Disqualified: Merab Gigauri (“Torpedo”); Data Rigvava (“Zugdidi”)
Referees: D. Kharitonashvili, D. Chigogidze, L. Varamishvili, T.Khuchua (substitute)
In the first circle – 0:0
In this case, “Torpedo” is the nominal host – they will host “Zugdidi” in Mtskheta. “Torpedo” started the season perfectly, but then “failed” and now getting through the top six became a problem for them. As for “Zugdidi”, they have a new coach Giorgi Daraselia and the play of Giorgi Tsitaishvili (former coach of the team) is not excepted too. First of all he is from Zugdidi and secondly he is a friend of Daraselia.
Zestafoni – Spartak (Tskhinvali)
December 14. Zestafoni. “Davit Abashidze.” 16:00
In the first circle – 0:1
Due to heavy snowfall, the news about this match will become clear later.
Dila (Gori) – Chikhura (Sachkhere)
December 15. Gori. “Tengiz Burjanadze.” 14:00
Disqualified: Aleksandre Kvakhadze, Otar Khizaneishvili (‘Dila”)
Referees: O. Khetsadze, Z. Menteshashvili, G. Chigogidze, G. Vadachkoria, J. Khorava, L. Kvaratskhelia (substitute)
In the first circle – 1:3
This is a central meeting of the round. Despite several problems, “Dila” still remains as “Dila” and “Chikhura”in every round argues that the last year’s success was not accidental.
Dinamo (Tbilisi) – Wit Georgia (Tbilisi)
December 15. Tbilisi, “Dinamo Arena.” 14:00
Disqualified: Giorgi Gvelesiani (“Dinamo”)
Referees: B. Ninua, I. Ukleba, Z. Berulava, A. Krichashvili (substitute)
In the first circle – 2:0
New stage has become in the history of “Dinamo”. The team is coached by Malkhaz Zhvania and it is very interesting, because before this he created really good team in Martvili. On Sunday, the debut of Malkhaz Zhvania as a head coach will be held at “Dinamo Arena”.
Sioni (Bolnisi) – Merani (Martvili)
December 15. Rustavi. “Poladi.” 14:00
Disqualified: Givi Karkuzashvili (“Merani”)
Referees: Kh. Gagnidze, Z. Pipia, G. Elikashvili, T. Gvantseladze (substitute)
In the first circle – 0:2
“Sioni”, coached by Lado Burduli, became a very exciting team. “Sioni” played scoreless draw with “Wit Georgia” last round, but before it they won 4 matches in a row. As for “Merani”, it has not won after September 26.
