I ask myself that more and more often. An even bigger chance was created by the captain of the Whites in the 32nd minute for Medvedev, who did not beat Kupatadze from the edge of the five. Not even Zmrhal was enough for the visitors’ goalkeeper a little later. He tried it with a powerful volley from behind the large goal. The players of the Georgian team also managed to combine well. Bidzinashvili took the opponent’s ball in the middle of the field, pushed Flamarion and he returned the ball to him in front of the goal, but Kašia hit. Kucka threatened Kupatadze in the end, but the important moment of the match came just after that. Defender Kobachidze committed a foul in the middle of the Barseghjana pitch, received a second yellow card and ordered himself to the showers. At the beginning of the second period, there was no indication that Slovan was playing in the upper hand, the team even had to hold back Chovan when he stopped Davitashvili’s shot. He was able to fight his way through several domestic players. The pressure of the guests did not stop even in the following minutes, and then the referee punished the first of the Slovanists – Barsejjan received a yellow card.

Weiss subsequently withdrew him in a triple substitution, when Ramirez and De Marco went “down” in addition to him, who were replaced by Green, Šaponjič and Čakvetadze, for whom it was the premiere in the shirt of the Bratislava club. Medvedev immediately got a chance to make amends, but he hesitated again at the edge of the small goal. The duel then reached a stalemate, even though the home team had a slight upper hand. The revival came at the very end. “Belasí” pressed, but Green didn’t succeed from the right side at first, he only hit the side netting, and in stoppage time the midfielder tried to cross. His attempt was intercepted by Kupatadze. Dinamo also tried for the winning goal with the combination of Vacadze and Mamučashvili. The end of the duel was marked by a rift between the visiting goalkeeper and substitute Šaponjič, in which the referee had to intervene. Voice after the match /source: RTVS/
Jurij Medvedev, SLovan defender: “We are disappointed, it’s a pity. We played a power play for more than half time, but we didn’t use it. The 0:0 result is very bad, we wanted another one. It’s a great shame, but nothing is lost yet. The second match is ahead of us and we want to advance. We had some chances to score, I had a very good one myself and I don’t even know how the goalkeeper caught it. We have to analyze the whole match. The opponent’s players were fast, but we didn’t let them do anything. We regret this result also for the sake of the audience. No one in the club can be satisfied with such a performance. I hope that we will take care of them after the match on the pitch in Batumi.”
