Spectators: 7528 (Terracing: 5777, Seating: 1727, VIP seats: 24) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Emiriev Andrzheevskiy kicked off to start the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Paata Shalikashvili in the 7th minute of play forced Kutaisi FC's goalkeeper Sese Goloviznin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Paata Shalikashvili came up free with the goalie in the 8th minute, the F.C. VALENSIE fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Paata Shalikashvili couldn't finish the play. 15 minutes into the match, F.C. VALENSIE's Paata Shalikashvili sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Sese Goloviznin narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In a very dangerous position, a player in Kutaisi FC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 16th minute. Penalty! Torgva Alania charged in rather forcefully in the 27th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Torgva Alania the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 26 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Kutaisi FC! In the 28th minute there was a penalty for F.C. VALENSIE. Soso Jachvadze stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Sese Goloviznin. 0-1. If Paata Shalikashvili had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sese Goloviznin took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Samir Bitsadze, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Merdan Pulishvili sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 39 minutes, Emiriev Andrzheevskiy managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Paata Shalikashvili sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

In the 54th minute, Emiriev Andrzheevskiy got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

Emiriev Andrzheevskiy sent away a hard shot on goal in the 62nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 65 minutes into the match, Merdan Pulishvili had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Giorgi Mkheidze. F.C. VALENSIE's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Merdan Pulishvili was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. Kvarkvare Gvaramadze took the ball and in the 67 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Giorgi Mkheidze. Giorgi Mkheidze dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. Kvarkvare Gvaramadze fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Giorgi Mkheidze having to interfere. Samir Bitsadze fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sese Goloviznin having to interfere.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Paata Shalikashvili in the 83rd minute of play forced Kutaisi FC's goalkeeper Sese Goloviznin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

VALENSIE was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 90 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tsotne Gvaramadze didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 91st minute Merdan Pulishvili shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Giorgi Mkheidze saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Kutaisi FC had played much better football throughout.
