Giorgi Kochorashvili once again caught the eye in Spain. The former Sporting midfielder provided the assist for Juan Iglesias’ goal that secured another win for Sevilla (1-0), in a match in which Valencia once again confirmed their dreadful start to the season.
The decisive moment came in the 81st minute, when Kochorashvili picked out Juan Iglesias for a precise header. The former Sporting player — who had come on in the 71st minute — was therefore directly involved in the goal that allowed Luis García’s side to claim their third win of the competition.
With this result, Sevilla temporarily climbed to third place in the standings with 10 points, level with second-placed Alavés and just two behind leaders Barcelona. Real Madrid and Betis, both on nine points, still have matches to play this round.
Kochorashvili is therefore continuing to earn more space after leaving Sporting. The Georgia international is looking to establish himself in La Liga and added another standout moment by contributing directly to an important result for the Andalusian side.
In contrast, Valencia are going through a very difficult start to the season. The team has just one point, is still without a win, and sits bottom of Spain’s top flight, having already conceded 10 goals and scored just one.
