- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 15' FC Saburtalo started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
- 20' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 61' FC Saburtalo make a change. Tornike Gorgiashvili trudges off to be replaced by Levan Kakubava on 61 minutes.
