SS Virtus edged FC Dila Gori 1-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier, snatching victory with a stoppage-time goal. The result came despite the home side playing with ten men for over half an hour after a second yellow card.
The decisive moment arrived in the 90th minute when a goal—scorer uncredited—gave Virtus the lead. Earlier, Blankson Anoff had been sent off in the 55th minute after picking up his second yellow, leaving his side a man down. Virtus weathered the pressure and found the breakthrough at the death.
The sending-off was the standout event: an early booking for Anoff in the 23rd minute was followed by a second yellow in the 55th, forcing Virtus to dig in. They managed to keep a clean sheet and grab the win, Dila Gori unable to capitalise on the numerical advantage.
