Two matches were held on the first day of Daraselia Cup.
The tournament started with the match between FC Dinamo Tbilisi and A.C. Monza football players. The excitement of the debut match was felt by both teams, and mutual mistakes were common at the start of the game. The teams organized the game methodically, the hosts gained a territorial advantage towards the end of the half, on 32nd minute (the tournament half-time is 35 minutes) Tornike Guliashvili opened the score with an accurate shot. In the second half, the guests improved their game and made some dangerous attacks, but overall, it should be noted that Tbilisi has the upper hand. On the last minute of the match, Dinamo's quick counter-attack ended with Lekso Peikrishvili’s goal 2-0.
