“Zestafoni” hold another control match in Turkey and lost to “Aarhus” Denmark 1:2. As you know, “Aarhus” is familiar to Georgians: the year before “Dila” Gori dismissed them from the II qualifying stage of Europa League and let it not be, Davit Devdariani, Davit Skhirtladze and Mate Vatsadze play for “Aarhus”.
Skhirtladze played without substitution in the lines of “Zestafoni”. Devdariani was in lineup and was substituted at the 66th minute, as for Vatsadze, he has not played due to his trauma.
“Zestafoni” was losing 0:2 and at the 81th minute Giorgi Chankotadze reduced the difference by penalty. “Aarhus” opened the score at the 40th minute by the auto goal of “Zestafoni” and at the 51th minute Devdariani scored. So, everything happened so that all three goals were scored by the Georgians, but the Georgian club lost 1:2.
”Zestafoni” had following composition: Meshveliani, Gongadze (Tornike Grigalashvili 72), Tedo Grigalashvili (Endeladze 85), Ferreira, Guruli, Sharikadze (Chanturishvili 10), Kukhianidze (Chankotadze 78), Getsadze (Sardalishvili 81), Dolidze (Pantsulaia 72), Sabanadze (Kapanadze 60), Tatanashvili.
As for the replacement of Sharikadze at the 10th minute of the match, the reason was that the opponent hit him to his face and he needed medical care.
In general, “Zestafoni” had a lot of goal moments, but the apprentices of Gia Geguchadze played slightly in the final phase.
