All three Georgian clubs said goodbye to Europa League in the first qualifying round. They all won one match but it was not enough.

Samtredia lost the first leg 1:5 to Gabala and was without chance. The second leg started with advantage of the Georgians when Budu Zivzivadze scored a penalty. Samtredia tried to attack but how they did, it is another question. At the end of the first half Theo Weeks scored a goal – 1:1.

The Georgians had advantage and good moments in the second half. At the end of the match Lasha Shergelashvili scored a goal – 2:1.

Gia Tsetsadze: “I congratulate the opponent on making through to the next round. We won today but I did not like the game of my team. I would have been satisfied if we had won 4:0. Gabala has experienced players. We have young players who have potential of playing in the national team”.
