TAKE NOTE: This one na comeback wey Georgia don find for their friendly match wey happen today, June 5, 2025, for Boris Paichadze Stadium wey dey Tbilisi, Georgia. The team just sabi say dem no wan waste time as dem don win Faroe Islands 1-0 with goal from their star man, Luka Lochoshvili. You fit call am say na small victory, but every goal matter for football, right?
True talk, the match no too get plenty sugar as both side dey try maintain their defense, but e no be say dem no try. Faroe Islands no wan make schadenfreude day their name as dem get serious opportunities but no fit find the net. E take dem almost 89 minutes before dem try make some fire, but as dem dey say, ‘better late than never’ no fit work today.
The referee, e be like say him get cool head, nobody wan see red cards fly like pepper soup as him dey manage the tension wey dey ground, especially between the coaches wey dey shout like say dem get free Vodafone lines. The Faroe Islands coach even make some substitutions wey try shake things up like say na party dem dey plan, but e no gel.
As match dey go, Georgia dey try maintain their lead like na dem get VIP seat for this show. Even though dem go forward try catch another goal, Faroe Islands dey hold their ground sharply, no wan allow themselves scatter. The last 5 minutes na final survival instinct if you ask me; dem push their full-backs just to create wahala for Georgia defense. But it still dey choke small small.
Now, make I yarn about the star of the show, Luka Lochoshvili. His goal na classic finish wey even make some people consider am for Player of the Match—abi na na only for festive season dem dey share that one? Anyway, dis match self, e don show say Georgia dey sharp like all the jollof wey dey for Naija.
Georgia dey look set for the World Cup qualifiers later this year. Dem don already secure their place for League B wey e no be joke; dem handle Armenia like say dem be small children, finishing them 9-1 on aggregate. Faroe Islands meanwhile, try hard to turn their luck around, but e no dey happen as dem don lose consecutive matches. Now as dem dey prepare to face Gibraltar, we fit just talk say dem really need to step up their game because e dey look like dem need GPS to find their way back to form.
End of the day, na friendly match o, but as e be, na more than just practice. Na for bragging right dem dey play too. Georgia don show say dem dey ready for serious challenges ahead, meanwhile Faroe Island dey gather their strategy to ensure say dem fit break the odd next time dem step out for pitch. Na so e be for football, sometimes na gameplay, sometimes na chance, but at the end of the day, na who fit score dey win the game!
