Georgia spend the better part of the match showing impatience and immaturity against visiting Malta, uncertain how to deal with the pressures of defeating a team they were supposed to beat, who they had lost to 2-0 the last time they met. Further complicating the match, Malta was showing the Georgians respect, playing off their hosts, seemingly content with a nil-nil.
