Torpedo Kutaisi vs Zira

Zira took the lead in the 25th minute. B. Konaté slipped a pass through to Eren Aydın, who finished calmly to give the visitors a 1-0 lead on the night and a 4-0 advantage on aggregate.

Fourteen minutes later, Martins Junior turned provider for the first time, delivering a cross that Amin Seydiyev converted to make it 2-0 at half-time. The tie was effectively over.

Torpedo Kutaisi manager V. Pinson made a half-time substitution, replacing himself with M. Stamatov, but the pattern of play did not change. Zira continued to control possession and create chances.

Aydın sealed his brace in the 70th minute, again finishing from a Martins Junior assist. The Turkish forward was withdrawn immediately after — a deserved early rest with the job done.

Seydiyev's 39th-minute goal killed any faint hope Torpedo Kutaisi had of a comeback. Needing four goals to level the tie, the Georgian side conceded a second just before the interval, turning a stiff task into an impossible one. Zira's two-goal half-time lead meant the second half was effectively a formality.

Eren Aydın (Zira) — Player of the match. Two clinical finishes from open play (25', 70'), both taken with composure. The forward was a constant threat and was substituted to applause in the 75th minute.

Martins Junior (Zira) — Two assists (39', 70'), both for goals that put the tie beyond doubt. His delivery from wide areas caused Torpedo's defence persistent problems.

Amin Seydiyev (Zira) — Scored the crucial second goal in the 39th minute and was a reliable presence in midfield throughout.

Zira's 3-0 win mirrored their first-leg performance exactly — the same scoreline, the same clean sheet, and two goals before half-time. Across 180 minutes of the tie, Torpedo Kutaisi failed to find the net once. The 6-0 aggregate scoreline is a statement of intent for Zira, who have now won their opening competitive European fixture of the season without conceding a single goal.

Vieirinha's 55th-minute yellow card was Zira's only booking of the night, reflecting a controlled, disciplined performance.

Zira progress to the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round with a 6-0 aggregate victory. They will face the winner of the tie between Ballkani (Kosovo) and Connah's Quay Nomads (Wales). Ballkani won their first leg 3-2 on 16 July, setting up a decisive second leg.

For Torpedo Kutaisi, European football ends for another season. The Georgian side failed to score in either leg and will now turn their focus to domestic competition.

Zira were professional, efficient, and ruthless across both legs. Aydın's double capped a tie in which the Azerbaijani side never looked troubled. Torpedo Kutaisi, to their credit, competed in spells but lacked the quality in the final third to trouble Zira's well-organised defence. The 6-0 aggregate scoreline is a fair reflection of the gap between the sides.
