“Dinamo” Tbilisi ended up competition in Georgian Cup – the team could not go through ¼ final. After 2:2 on “Basa”, “Dinamo” played 0:0 in Gori. “Dila” should be proud of delivering such opponent from its way. We do not know if “Dila” gets in the first eight teams but it has already got in the Cup notebook.
The first and responsive matches of these teams turned out very different. A very good football was played on “Basa” but on “Kartli” Gori… It is difficult to show combined football on such field.
Alex Garcia had to change defence line: Shota Kashia played as a right defender instead of Gulverd Tomashvili. Davit Odikadze played on left wing. Homola and Giorgi Rekhviashvili played in the center of defence.
Nika Sadaghashvili, Davit Razhamashvili, Roman Goginashvili and Roman Akhalkatsi were forwards from “Dila”. Left defender Oleg Gvelesiani and midfielder Vladimer Jojua were the best players of the match.
Only two moments are worth mentioning in the first half: free kick of Ilia Lomidze was dangerous. At the 39th minute, after the assist of Rekhviashvili, Xisco kicked the ball but missed it. Xisco was very close to the goal.
“Dinamo” possessed the ball for a long time but they could do nothing.
Xisco did not hold the best match in Gori but his high level playing was obvious. What we can say about Yague… Giorgi Kakhelishvili, Rekhviashvili and Xisco shot the ball from a long distance but they could not score goals. At the 72nd minute, Beka Shekriladze of “Dinamo” parried the ball of Robertinho.
Defence of “Dila” played well and did not let “Dinamo” get in the penalty area. In the last 10-15 minutes, the guests played rapidly and made many mistakes.
Finally, “Dila” deserved going through ¼ final. Losing in 1/8 final is a real shock for “Dinamo”. Everyone points to Spanish legionaries. If not Coto and Yague, Xisco and Alvaro are one of the best players of the team. They scored the most goals in “Dinamo”.
