The National Football Championship has renewed. This time, all matches were held on the same day and some interesting things happened. For example, after a shameful defeat with “Tottenham” and “Guria”, “Dinamo’ Tbilisi played well and convincingly won over “Zugdidi”. Chosko, Dzaria and Kvirkvelia had not played again, they practice individually. The captain was Levan Khmeladze. Dusan Ughrin said: last time, Loria lost his concentration and preferred Khmaladze on his place. Khmaladze is a field player and is more acceptable for me. That’s all... and one more, Romanian Dorin Goga scored for the first time in Georgian Championship.

Beka Tsikolia, 19-year-old debutant of “Merani” Martvili, also scored for the first time. By the way, he made a goal assist in the match against “Chikhura” and satisfied Malkhaz Zhvania, head coach. Beka is a pupil of “Spartak” Moscow and he joined “Merani” last year. “Merani” hosted “Chikhura” in Samtredia and unexpectedly defeated 3:2.

 “Torpedo”, with a goal of Giorgi Kukhianidze, won over “Guria” Lanchkhuti and took the 1^st place. The whimsy and desire of young players of kutaisi should be noted. If they vindicate this lineup, Kutaisi will have a good team.

“Zestafoni”, coached by Serbian Ratko Dostanic, for the first time. “Spartak” lost for the 4^th time in a row. Depending on their composition it is a little strange. In particular, they were losing 0:1 and then they equalized at the 86^th minute. The player among the guests, made assist to Tornike Tukhareli, who was in the penalty area, but Anzor Sukhiashvili, among the hosts, received this assist, but he parried the ball badly and “Spartak” scored. But Levan Varamashvili, referee, fixed the offside position on Tukhareli. But he apparently was behind of Sukhiashvili’s back, and Varamishvili raised the flag after scoring.

Vladimer Khachidze, head coach of “Spartak”, stated at the press conference after the match, that he saw the the video of this episode and the referee obviously made a mistake.

Two matches will be held on September 17: “Dinamo” will host “Spartak” and “Torpedo – “Dila”.
