Georgian U-19 team defeated Scotland 3:1. The Georgians scored 2 from 3 goals with 9 players. Such thing happens very seldom and the Georgians proved that they are better players than the opponent.
In the first half Nika Kacharava, forward of “Rubin”, scored goal and advanced Georgia. Before that the kick of Dachi Tsnobiladze touched goalpost.
At the end of the half right defender Davit Mtivlishvili (“Lokomotive” Tbilisi) was sent off because of the second yellow card.
The situation got tense when Bachana Arabuli was sent off at the 58th minute. The team of Gia Tsetsadze scored two goals in 6 minutes and advanced 3:0. At first Budu Zivzivadze, young forward of “Dinamo” Tbilisi, scored goal and then Avto Endeladze, midfielder of “Zestafoni”, did it. The Brits responded only with one goal and Fraser scored it.
Another match of the second round Belgium-England starts at 21:00 today.
Belgium will host the Georgians in the last round. Besides Arabuli and Mtivlishvili, Markozashvili, Endeladze and Kacharava will lack the Georgian team because of disqualifications. Giorgi Pantsulaia did not today. He was disqualified but will play against Belgium.
