Match overview

Played under the lights at Tkibuli’s compact venue, the game began with the home side looking to impose themselves early.

A sharp transition from midfield carved the home defence open, and the visitors finished coolly to make it 1-0 just past the half-hour mark.

Samgurali doubled their advantage shortly after the interval, capitalising on a defensive mix-up and showing the clinical edge that has made them dangerous in the Erovnuli Liga. With the two-goal cushion, the away side looked comfortable in possession and managed the tempo of the match.

Late response from Meshakhte

Meshakhte refused to fade, and their persistence paid off when they pulled one back in the closing stages. A well-worked move down the right flank ended with a low finish that gave the home fans something to celebrate. The goal set up a tense finale, but Samgurali held firm defensively to protect their lead and secure a valuable away victory.
