Turcu broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for RUSTAVI. The players of RUSTAVI now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. RUSTAVI's S. Seman swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. Cheers filled the stadium as R. Laime broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 3 - 0 to RUSTAVI. 3 - 0 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to RUSTAVI, who controlled the ball 80 percent of the time.

R. Laime could have put RUSTAVI up one more, but he fired into the side netting after breaking free on the left after 53 minutes. B. Kliem was called on to replace RUSTAVI's İ. Gökdemir after 54 minutes following a nasty collision. A great save by keeper P. Ushikishvili after 55 minutes kept the visitors in the game after S. Seman struck from the left with a real cannonball. After 58 minutes, RUSTAVI's S. Seman fell awkwardly, but was determined to stay in the match. That's the spirit! S. Seman increased the lead for RUSTAVI to 4 - 0, getting a head onto a hooked ball from the right. The ball looked to have taken a deflection on the way in, but he's claiming it! Things were going to get worse for the visitors. S. Seman squirmed through their central defence after 65 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 0. M. Chonqadze of F.C was booked for kicking the ball away after the whistle. After 71 minutes, B. Décorte put RUSTAVI ahead 6 - 0 when he rose to head in a cross from the right wing. F.C's M. Chonqadze had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 78 minutes having been played. B. Kevlishvili was the replacement. V. Nikabadze was the new captain of F.C - handed the armband by the departing player. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by RUSTAVI, with 79 percent of the ball.

The most dominating RUSTAVI player was without a doubt M. Fuertes. S. Seman on the other hand, had a terrible day. F.C's best player was B. Giorgadze. B. Nadaraia was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
