Group 2 brought us the game between two neighbouring countries - Georgia and Armenia. Two teams had one point from two games before the match.
Georgia took all three points from this game after a big 5-0 victory even though they had only 6 shots on target compared to 5 of the guest team.
Four minutes into the game, Georgia was already 2-0 up, and it was their number 19 Elisandro who scored both goals. Elisandro scored again at the beginning of the second half to complete his hattrick.
