"Spartaki" Tskhinvali won for the second time in the season and for the first time by coaching Badri Kvaratskhelia. The team has 10 points. "Spartaki" is 6 points behind its opponent team. "Spartaki" played better than "Wit Georgia", spent more energy and won.
At the 13th minute, guest midfielder Valeri Bolkvadze took a free kick and scored it.
We expected active playing from "veterinaries" but nothing like this happened. "Spartaki" did not pay much attention to defence and there was no use of it - team of Merab Kochlashvili looked quite weak. They seemed not to want to win the match. It lasted till the end of the final whistle. Only 5 minutes of the second half was when Jaba Lipartia missed from a long distance. Then Davit Maisashvili could not score a goal. Lipartia tried to score in the first half. He took a free kick and missed it. Before the break there was a free kick of Shota Kashia when Ardalian Mikaberidze parried the ball.
One strange thing - "Wit Georgia" was playing without a good forward. Kochlashvili let forwards play from the second half but in vain.
At the 67th minute, Bolkvadze kicked the ball and it touched a goalpost. Bolkvadze was the best player of the match.
Kochlashvili made such substitutions that it looked like taking a risk. Goalkeeper of "Spartaki" Soso Grishikashvili did not even dive. At the last minutes, Giga Bechvaia assisted Guram Adamadze who missed the ball.
"Spartaki" was happy. Club president Dimitri Sanakoev went down on the field and hugged coach and players. This loss of "Wit Georgia" proved that substitution of old players with young ones did no good to the team. Only half of the championship has passed and "Wit Georgia" has 8 losses.
After the match:
Merab Kochlashvili: "We played badly. "Spartaki" fought and won. We can play better. I am not satisfied".
Badri Kvaratskhelia: "I congratulate players, coaching staff and club managers on this victory. It is difficult to gain 3 points against "Wit Georgia" away. But we did it. We had to make two substitutions in the first half. Besides that, Besik Dekanoidze was injured. Result is important for us. We need points like air".
