Lasha Chaghiashvili substituted Roman Chanturia with Giorgi Gabadze, who then occupied Ghonghadze’s position.

Approximately in 10 minutes, Davit Jiqia, who had entered the field through substitution, passed a corner kick. After Nika Chanturia’s effort, Givi Karkuzashvili broke the ball into his own gate, 1-1.

Locomotive could have won the match, although, Gavashelishvili, being face to face with a goalkeeper, missed the target.
