Gagra vs BKMA

Gagra started the brighter of the two sides and took an early lead before BKMA responded to level the score. The hosts regained the advantage before the interval, going into the break 2-1 up. A third goal after half-time put the result beyond doubt, with Gagra controlling large stretches of the contest.

BKMA's equaliser — their only goal of the match — proved to be a brief reprieve rather than a platform. Gagra restored their lead before half-time, which meant the Armenian side faced a deficit at the break despite having fought back once. The third goal early in the second half effectively killed the contest, leaving BKMA with too much ground to make up.

Gagra's collective attacking output was the story. Scoring three goals in a pre-season friendly — having managed only two in their previous three friendlies (a 2-2 draw with Urartu and a 1-1 draw with Bunyodkor) — suggests the side's attacking patterns are sharpening ahead of the new season. BKMA's goal was their only shot on target of note, per the flow of the match.

Gagra had scored just three goals across their four pre-season games prior to this fixture (a 2-0 loss to Zorya Luhansk, 1-1 vs Bunyodkor, 4-4 vs Muras United, 2-2 vs Urartu). Matching that tally in a single match against BKMA represents a significant step up in attacking output. The 2-1 half-time scoreline suggests an open first period, with both sides finding the net before Gagra's superior depth told after the interval.

For Gagra, this win builds momentum ahead of their domestic campaign. The Georgian side have now won two of their last five pre-season friendlies (W2 D2 L1 since 9 February 2026). BKMA, meanwhile, bounced back three days later with a 3-1 win over Sioni on 18 July, showing the defeat did little to dent their preparations.

A useful workout for both sides in mid-July. Gagra's three-goal haul suggests their pre-season preparations are progressing well, while BKMA will take heart from their ability to score but will need to tighten up defensively before competitive fixtures resume.
