GEORGIA ENCOUNTERED LITTLE resistance this evening as they got their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign up and running at the expense of Gibraltar.
The Georgians picked up their first points in Group D by running out 3-0 winners in Tbilisi.
Valerian Gvilia put the home side ahead on the half-hour mark, before their lead was doubled by substitute Giorgi Papunashvili in the 59th minute. With 14 minutes remaining, Vato Arveladze rounded off the scoring from the penalty spot.
The result gets Georgia off the mark after their bid to qualify for a first major tournament began with defeats to Switzerland and the Republic of Ireland.
Gibraltar, whose only previous outing in the group ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Ireland, will travel to Dublin for the return fixture on Monday.

Let’s face it, it’s been dreadful for years…from Givens to King. Awful. And I guess there is little chance Kerr will be given the role with John the Baptist in charge
Shock horror. High time the second coming of Don Givens was moved on. An ideal role for Brian Kerr.
Jesus Christ how is that man still in charge. Would love to see Kerr take over
Because he’s an FAI boy
How about hiring a coach who has a clue what he’s doing.
People throwing around fixture congestion as a valid excuse for Horgan not being called up for the seniors. Yet Maguire and O Connor playing tonight and a game tomorrow as well as tonight and this Ireland team were out regardless.
If not Kerr,Damien Duff would be a good choice.
How the F##k is Noel king still in charge of them? It’s time for massive changes in Irish football starting at grassroots.
