CONCLUSION

Zira completed a composed away performance to secure a 0-3 win and progress from the tie. Torpedo Kutaisi held the majority of possession yet created insufficient clear opportunities to alter the scoreline. The visitors capitalised on their chances with two first-half goals that set the tone for the remainder of the match. Defensive organisation limited Torpedo Kutaisi to minimal threat after the interval. The clean sheet and three-goal margin reflected Zira's control once the early strikes were registered. Overall the result confirmed the away side's superiority on the night and across the two legs combined.
