Half-Time Report: Gibraltar two goals down against Georgia

Gibraltar are 2-0 down against Georgia in their Euro 2016 Group D qualifier in Portugal this evening.

The hosts, playing at the Estadio Algarve, were first to push forward, Joseph Chipolina seeing his effort from outside the box blocked in the sixth minute.

It didn't take long for the higher-ranked visitors to break the deadlock, however, with Giorgi Chanturia's cross in the ninth minute falling to Nikoloz Gelashvili, who duly poked the ball into the bottom corner to put Georgia into the lead.

Things would get even better for Temuri Ketsbaia's charges, as Tornike Okriashvili struck past Jamie Robba to double his side's lead with less than 20 minutes played.

Georgia carried on bearing down on goal throughout the rest of the first half, but despite efforts from Giorgi Chanturia and Nikoloz Gelashvili, were unable to build on their two-goal lead.
