Georgia, on the other hand, beat Mirel Radoi's Romania 2-1 yesterday at the Ilie Oana Stadium. Second-half goals from Seraing forward Georges Mikautadze and Cartagena midfielder Giorgi Aburjania sealed the deal for Willy Sagnol's Georgia, who had Rotor Volgograd centre-back Solomon Kvirkvelia sent off in the second-half.
Universitatea Craiova attacker Andrei Ivan scored the consolation goal for Romania, who had FCSB forward Florin Tanase sent off in the first-half.
