The national football teams of Bulgaria and Georgia met in a match for the World Cup qualifiers played in Tbilisi.  Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Nika Gagnidze gave the lead in the first half, and midway through the second Georges Mikautadze shaped the final score of 0:3..
Compared to the match with the Spaniards on Thursday, Bulgaria's coach Ilian Iliev made five changes to the starting lineup. Fabian Nurnberger, Vasil Panayotov, Ivaylo Chochev, Iliya Gruev and Alexander Kolev were absent from the 11, and the new faces were Rosen Bozhinov, Georgi Milanov, Andrian Kraev, Vladimir Nikolov, Marin Petkov.

Both teams entered the match after losses in their first matches, and another defeat today meant that hopes were dashed to a minimum.

The match was played almost the entire time in torrential rain, which began to pour 10 minutes before the first referee's signal. At first, the rain stopped in the 15th minute, but after the 70th minute, a real downpour broke out.
