Considering playing of opponent and the goal which was scored at the end of the match, “Dinamo” Tbilisi suffered from a regrettable loss in Athens.
Players of Alex Garcia were outsiders in the first match of Europa League play off. In spite of loss in Athens, we still hope that “Dinamo” can go through the next round.
There is not much worth mentioning from the match. It was an uninteresting match. None of the teams made dangerous moments. After the 60th minute, the host team had advantage.
The only goal of the match was scored at the 87th minute when Spanish midfielder Jose Carlos scored goal.
At the 4th minute of the added time, “Dinamo” was scored another goal but referee did not count it because of offside.
