Lithuania 0-2 Georgia Player Ratings: A Brace From Mikautadze Seals Victory For The Georgians Late In The Second Half

The Lithuania vs Georgia friendly match happened to be a rather slow one, where both teams struggled to make clear-cut chances. Although it was an end-to-end affair, the gameplay was rather slow, which one doesn't expect from two European teams.

The Georgian national football team were majorly on the front foot, with Lithuania springing up at times with energy on the counterattacks. The first half saw both teams finish with a goalless scoreline, which did upset the home fans a little.

The call for a goal was finally answered late in the second half, when Georgia got a penalty. Georges Mikautadze of Villarreal CF stepped up to convert the spot kick and gave Georgia the lead in the 70th minute-mark.

Mikautadze was on the scoresheet again in the 84th minute to double the lead for the Georgians, which left the players of the Lithuania national football team distraught.

Gvidas Gineitis added to the woes of the home team, as he received a second yellow and had his marching orders from the referee in the 93rd minute. They found it difficult to manage a comeback in the final moments of the game, which sealed a convincing victory for Georgia.
