Substitute at kick-off, Georges Mikautadze only needed ten minutes to shine for Georgia. The OL striker's goal saved his country from another defeat against Ukraine (1-1).
Beaten twice in October, the Georgia no longer had his destiny in his hands. Well yes, but for that she had to beat theUkraine at home on Saturday. Unfortunately, Willy's players Sagnol were only able to draw against the last of group 1 of League B in the Nations League (1-1). However, in their current bad situation, the Georgians were able to count on the draw between the Czechia and theAlbania to still believe in promotion to League A. Indeed, on November 19, Georgia went to the Czech leader and with only one point behind, a victory would send Georges Mikautadze and his on the floor above. We still have to win, something which hasn't happened since September 10, because at the same time Georgia could go down to League C at the end of the last day…
There may be tension in the air over the next few days and the Crusaders will quickly have to find the winning formula again. Mikautadze could this be one of the solutions? On Saturday, the OL striker started the match against Ukraine on the bench. It was wrapped up in his tracksuit that he saw Kvirkvelia score against his camp in the 7th minute and put the Georgia in bad shape. Despite a large domination, the last round of 16 finalists of Euro 2024 failed to force the Ukrainian lock until the entry of Georges Mikautadze. Having appeared in the 67th minute on the lawn of the Batumi stadium, the Lyonnais found the fault in the 76th and played the supersubs.
