Scotland-Georgia 1:3. The U-19 team of Gia Tsetsadze was real hero. The team scored two goals with 9 players. Besides that, at the beginning of the second half when our team was losing 1:0, goalkeeper Gabriel Tebidze parried penalty.

Georgia will hold the last match of the group against Belgium and the team of Tsetsadze is in fatal situation: Bachana Arabuli, Davit Mtivlishvili, Nika Kacharava, Avto Endeladze, Temur Markozashvili – these football players will be not able to play because of disqualification. Only 13 players are left: 11 in lineup and 2 substitutes, one is a goalkeeper…

“World Sport” contacted Bachana Arabuli in Belgium. He was sent off in the match against the Brits. Before that Bachana made a goal assist:

- We are very happy. We defeated Scotland and scored two goals with 9 players. We are only 13 against Belgium.

- How do you evaluate this match, how did it start and continue? We could not watch this match in Belgium.

- We started well. We had moments but could not use them. Kacharava scored the first goal and we advanced but then it started… I do not know, nobody has seen such refereeing. He showed many yellow cards and then sent off Mtivlishvili. At the beginning of the second half he awarded unfair penalty. Tebidze parried it.

- After this penalty you were sent off because of the second yellow card. What happened in that episode?

- We attacked and defender pushed me and I fell down. He gave me the second yellow card for simulation and 9 players were left on the field.

- Did referee support Scotland?

- Yes, he did but Scotland has no chance.

- It is rare to score 2 goals with 9 players.

- Zivzivadze and Endeladze did their best and scored. Defense played extremely well. It is their merit that we played with 9 players as if we were 11.

- Has any clash occurred among the players?

- No, it has not.

- What did Tsetsadze tell you after the match?

- He congratulated us on victory. Perhaps, the match will be analyzed tomorrow.

- Guram Samushia could not play because of injury. Will he play against Belgium?

- Yes, he will.

As we found out the Georgian side is going to appeal yellow cards but it is hard to say if UEFA will satisfy this appeal. The situation is really tough – the team has only 13 players.

The last round will be held on May 29.
