Georgia’s champion “Dinamo” Tbilisi is in the third qualifying stage of Champions League. The most titled team of our country maintained last week’s advantage gained against “Alashkert” Armenia and now will face the winner among “Dinamo” Zagreb and “Vardar” Macedonia.

“Dinamo” did not manage to win in Yerevan, but ended the match in desired result – 1:1.

The team of Juraj Jarabek played the first half especially well. Jaba Jighauri scored the first goal of the match – 0:1.

“Alashkert” started the second half well and soon, at the 51th minute, Gyozalyan equalized the score – 1:1. We must especially distinguish Giorgi Papunashvili’s distant kick, which hit the crossbar.

Overall, “Dinamo” passed the barrier of “Alashkert” without any problems, but in the third qualifying round will play much more serious opponent. We will find out who faces our team tomorrow, but most likely it will be “Dinamo” Zagreb, which meets Champions League group stage regularly.
