Saburtalo Tbilisi and Flora Tallinn played out a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Champions League qualifier. The Georgian side looked in control after a dominant first half, only for Flora to fight back after the break.
Nika Sikharulashvili put Saburtalo ahead in the 13th minute from Giorgi Kutsia's assist, then doubled the lead in the 36th minute, with Zviad Natchkebia providing the pass. Flora rallied in the second half: Tony Varjund pulled one back in the 69th minute, and Rauno Sappinen levelled the scores in the 84th minute.
Flora Tallinn's resilience was the standout story, turning a two-goal deficit into a share of the spoils. The match saw bookings for Jemali-Giorgi Jinjolava, Robert Veering, Eldar Guliyev, and Amiran Dzagania, but no side dominated the stats sheet.
