First Published: Nov 19, 1998

Georgia found it easy to dispose of their Estonian opponents in Tbilisi yeasterday.

Their movement took through through and around the visiting defence whenever they felt the need to advance but it was not until the second half that they took the chances their play deserved.

Mikhail Ashvetia hit the opening goal with a low drive in the 65th minute and he finished an 85th minute break for his second strike of the night. In between came a near range effore from David Dzhanashia in the 72nd minute and there was time for an Estonian consolation from Arno Arbeiter with a minute of the game to go. Estonia escaped a really marking defeat as Georgia could not find the target until much of the game had passed.
