After the game, reporter Harris Stavrou posted a quote from Georgia head coach Aleksandar Dzikic explaining Bitadze’s DNP. Dzikic clarified that Bitadze was not injured; rather, he was given the opportunity to get some rest as Georgia prepares for its upcoming games against Cyprus and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“It was my decision. We know our goal,” Stavrou quoted Dzikic as saying. “Was it ugly? Yes it was. But it wasn’t the smartest decision to fight today.”
