Sergei Rebrov’s team continues to take last place in its quartet
IN Batumi the fifth round match took place Nations League 2024/25 (Group 1, Division B), in which Ukrainian national team on the road it was a draw against Georgia (1:1).
Sergei Rebrov’s team opened the scoring in the opening of the first half. Midfielder of the Georgian team Giorgi Kochorashvili lost the ball in his own half of the field, Ukraine dispersed a rapid counterattack, which resulted in Mikhail Mudrik’s cross from the right flank into the penalty area. The hosts’ centerback Solomon Kvirkelia failed to properly adjust to the ball and cut it into his own goal.
Georgia restored the status quo in the 76th minute of the match. Substitute Georges Mikautadze (one of the top scorers of the last Euro 2024) played well in finishing after Anatoly Trubin parried a header from Otar Kakabadze.
Thus, the Ukrainian team gained five points. She is still the last in her quartet, having more than a real chance of relegation to Division C. The fate of Sergei Rebrov’s team will be decided in the final match with the Albanian national team, which will take place in Tirana on November 19. Georgia has seven points – it is equal to the group leader Czech Republic, which will play its fifth round match tonight away against the same Albania.
