Lasha Kuchukhidze: "It Is Double Happiness to Score Such Goal"

In UEFA Europa League first qualifying round “Chikhura” Sachkhere defeated “Turnovo” 1:0 in Macedonia. Lasha Kuchukhidze, former forward of “Merani” Martvili, scored the only goal of the match at the 31st minute.

“World Sport” contacted Kuchukhidze in Macedonia and talked to him about the mentioned match.

- Lasha, congratulations on victory and the first goal. How did the Macedonians meet you and what does “Turnovo” presents?

- Thank you. I want to note that they met us well and we had no problem. As for the club, “Turnovo” is not grand but it fought till the end. So, it was a tough match.

- Referee sent off the Georgian football player at the 42nd minute. Was the decision of the Hungarian referee fair?

- It was not fair because Chikvaidze did not have yellow card and the referee had no reason to give him red card. In the second half we worked hard not to be scored goal and we did it.

- What can you say about your goal? It is your first goal in a new club.

- I am doubly happy that I scored goal. It is my first goal at European tournaments but the whole team deserved this goal.

- What can you say to the Sachkhere fans?

- I am dedicating this goal to the fans. I want to ask them to support us on July 10. Everything will be decided in the second leg. Please, come to the stadium and support us.  

- Best of luck.
