Match report
Gareji took on Sioni Bolnisi in the Erovnuli Liga 2 regular season on 6 September, and the match ended 3:3. The result keeps the table leader firmly at the top while Sioni remain in fifth place. By then, both sides had played 24 games and carried quite different points tallies into the fixture.
Kalandadze opened the scoring for Gareji in the third minute, a quick strike that set the tone. Iakobidze doubled the hosts' advantage before the break with a goal in the 33rd minute. Sioni came back through Kevin just after half-time, and suddenly the match was level at 2:2.
Zurabiani pulled Sioni ahead with his first goal in the 84th minute, and Gareji looked set to drop points. But he rolled the dice and sent another shot into the net in stoppage time, this one landing in the 90+6th minute. The late drama meant both teams walked away with a point each.
Sioni controlled 55 percent of possession and registered 120 attacks compared to 109 for the hosts, yet the extra pressure did not translate into victory. Gareji managed only three corners to Sioni's five, and both sides showed three yellow cards each. The statistics suggest a game where chances were created but not always finished cleanly.
For Gareji, the draw keeps them at the summit with 47 points from 13 wins, eight draws and three defeats. Sioni sit on 32 points with an even split of eight wins and eight draws against eight losses. And here's the thing — neither team extended or ended any particular run, but the result confirms the gap between the top and the rest remains intact.
