Match Report
Dila Gori turned an early scare into a comfortable night at Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium, coming from behind to beat SS Virtus 3-1 in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying tie. The Georgian side's rapid turnaround in the opening quarter-hour set the tone for a dominant home performance.
Simone Benincasa handed the San Marino visitors a shock lead in the 3rd minute, but Dila Gori quickly regrouped. Shota Shekiladze drew level just five minutes later in the 8th, before Blankson Anoff put the hosts ahead in the 14th. Dila controlled the second half, with Mohamed Kanté sealing the victory with a composed 68th-minute finish.
The result hands Dila Gori a commanding cushion ahead of the return leg in San Marino on July 16. For Virtus, an unlikely comeback now looks the only path to progression.
