Kolheti Poti and Aragvi Dusheti played out a 1-1 draw in the Erovnuli Liga 2 on Saturday, a result that keeps both sides moving in different directions. The hosts sat 10th on 23 points before kick-off, while the visitors arrived fourth on 32 and left with the same tally as before the match.
It was a late punch from the home side that forced a response. N. Kapanadze struck in the 85th minute to give Kolheti the lead, and S. Dvalishvili equalised almost immediately, arriving in the 91st minute after a quick turnover. Dvalishvili also picked up a yellow card in stoppage time, but the result was already settled.
Neither manager held back on changes, with Kolheti making five substitutions and Aragvi Dusheti three. K. Zita came on early at half-time, while the visitors brought on D. Pachulia and A. Avaliani together in the 59th minute. T. Molashvili was shown a yellow card in the 60th minute for the hosts, and there were further changes from both benches as the game opened up.
The numbers tell a story of even pressure. Both teams registered 91 attacks, though Kolheti held possession at 58 per cent to the visitors' 42. There were only three corners between them combined — two for the hosts, one for the away side — and no red cards to disrupt the flow.
For Aragvi Dusheti, the point extends a run of stability, a fourth straight unbeaten outing after that 0-0 draw with Gagra on Wednesday. Kolheti, meanwhile, remain rooted in the bottom half and will need to find consistency if they want to climb out of 10th place.
