The first leg of play-off match started with a minute of silence in honor of Chapecoense FC players and other victims who died in Columbia plane crash. Dinamo footballers wore black armbands. It’s worth mentioning that Giorgi Lomaia and Rene Santos were teammates and friends of several dead footballers.
The host team created first dangerous attack. At first Giorgi Pantsulaia attacked, then Vagner Gonsalvesh but both of them missed the target. Dinamo attacked and tried to gain priority in the center. On 25th minute Santi Khara passed to Giorgi Pantsulaia who was in front of goalkeeper but Zaza Tchelidze played well. In response Vladimer Dvalishvili kicked but Otar Goshadze repelled on corner. Nothing interesting has happened in the first half. Both teams started the second half with attacks. On 65th and 67th minutes Jaba Jigahuri was active, but defenders played well. After that Wagner missed the target. On 77th minute Dinamo created fast attack, Giorgi Tevzadze kicked but Beka Mikeltadze couldn’t reach the ball. Ucha Lobzhanidze kicked but missed the target. On 86th minute Wagner kicked but Nukri Revishvili saved his team. Finally play-off match finished without goals. The second leg will take place at Dinamo Arena on December 4 at 17:00.
