Georgia 2-0 Scotland

Scotland's national soccer team needed a victory and then a one more point to qualify for Euro 2008. Georgian national team needed a victory to gain self confidence and rehabilitate. Scotland brought an experienced team on the field. Georgia opted to a youthful "gang". Three teenagers including the goalkeeper were playing on the whites' side. Both teams had different needs but the same objective - to win the game at any cost.

It was the 16th minute when Georgian team scored the first goal. Zurab Menteshashvili's corner headed past Craig Gordon at the near-post by Levan Mchedlidze for Georgia. 1:0.

Georgian national team was leading the whole match, increasing pressure on Scotland minute after minute, killing Scotland's hopes of taking anything.

It was the 64th minute when David Kvirkvelia took on Greame Murty on the left side of the penalty area before cutting the ball back for David Siradze, who scored the second goal. 2:0.

Scotland pushed forward for a while but chances were few and none of them were used by Alex McLeish's men.
