ON-FIELD REACTION
Merab Sharikadze, captain
On what went wrong:
“The game-changing factor was we got penalised too many times at the beginning and teams like Australia don’t let you off so a good learning for us. We’re going to learn a lot from here.”
On the difference in the second half:
“We didn’t concede too many penalties so we were able to stay in the game but Australia are one of the best teams in the world and will do great in this World Cup. Thanks to our supporters and thanks to France for hosting this amazing tournament.”
Levan Maisashvili, head coach
On what went wrong:
"Our exits were very poor at the start and we put ourselves under pressure but we came back in the second half. It’s just the first game, so we have a lot of things to analyse."
