Our team attacked created a good moment. Rene had an effort on goal. In the middle of the half, heavy rain started. The match continued with the priority of our team. Dinamo Tbilisi delivered several corners in turn, but in vain.
Our team started the second half with two substitutions. Nikoloz Gelashvili and Otar Kiteishvili entered the field instead of Coureur and Spicic. Our team attacked, delivered corners and took free-kicks but without result. In the middle of the second half Nikoloz Gelashvili passed to Vladimer Dvalishvili but he missed the target.
