Georgia secured a 2-0 victory over Bahrain in an international friendly match played on Friday, June 5, 2026, at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi.
The home side capitalized on second-half scoring to overcome a goalless first half, providing valuable preparation ahead of upcoming competitive fixtures. Georgian defenders and attackers combined effectively against lower-ranked opposition.
Lasha Lochoshvili, a Georgian defender, scored the opening goal in the 52nd minute. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a Georgian forward, converted a penalty in the 77th minute to seal the result.
Georgia controlled much of the second half after a relatively even first period, maintaining defensive solidity while creating clear opportunities.
Georgia, currently ranked 72nd in the FIFA standings, improved their recent form with this clean-sheet win. Bahrain sits 91st and struggled to create meaningful threats.
Georgia’s next match is on September 25 against Northern Ireland in the UEFA Nations League.
