Also, Tbilisians played on seize very well. All this resulted in the 22nd minute, by a logical goal scored by Gavashelishvili. After Andronikashvili's clever, very good pass, Tornike Kirkitadze passed it to Gavashelishvili in the penalty area and Mamia settled the account easily.

After that, Kirkitadze helped Irakli Sikharulidze twice to score and finally, he scored 3 assists. In the 32nd minute, Loko's top scorer put his team ahead with an effective goal. The teams came out with this score at the break.

The second half was held with the full advantage of Tbilisians. At the 49th minute, Sikharulidze made a double. Exactly in 20 minutes, Gavashelishvili joined his teammate and after Dartsmelia's pass, he also scored a double. Ulad Omar Imran put an end to the match and after technical dribbling in the opponent's penalty area, scored the fifth ball in Shovnadze's goal.

Apart from the fact that Loco’s players improved their personal statistics and created a great mood before the decisive match of the championship, another pleasant fact was observed in the match against Torpedo: at the 75th minute, Irakli Chiabrishvili entered the field and it was his first official match for Locomotive.
