…At the beginning of the second half Ucha Lobzhanidze got injured and Juraj Jarabek replaced him by Otar Kiteishvili. So, Stefan Velev played as a right defender. These changes helped Dinamo win the match – 2:0. Kiteishvili scored a goal and played actively.
What happened in the first half? Nothing interesting. Alashkert kept its net dry and Dinamo did not have a real chance of scoring a goal.
In the first half Lado Dvalishvili was the most active from the Georgians. Goal lacked his game.
In short, Kiteishvili changed the game and Otar scored a goal at the 55th minute.
After the first goal Dinamo started playing actively and the Armenians had no chance. Soon Giorgi Kvilitaia scored a penalty and 2:0.
3:0 would have been perfect but Lado Dvalishvili could not score a goal when he was one on one with the goalkeeper.
2:0 is a handicap for the second leg and Dinamo has a good chance of making through to the third round.
