With no goals to punctuate the contest, the story was told through territory and chances rather than incident. Georgia had the better of the shooting count, registering 14 attempts with five on target compared to Ukraine's seven shots and two on target, despite Ukraine edging possession 51 percent to 49. Georgia also won four corners to none for their visitors.
Discipline was a feature of an otherwise cagey affair, with Ukraine picking up four yellow cards to Georgia's two, and 13 fouls committed by the hosts against 14 by the away side. Neither team could turn their spells of pressure into a breakthrough, and referee Äliyar Ağayev's whistle brought the stalemate to a close with the scoreline unchanged from kick-off.
Anatolii Trubin was the difference for Ukraine between the posts, finishing with the highest rating on the pitch at 8.37 as his side kept a clean sheet away from home.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Georgia 25%, the draw 24%, Ukraine 51%. It finished Georgia 0–0 Ukraine.
Ukraine's rating gap outweighs Georgia's home ground — Ukraine are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Ukraine's 51%. The draw at 24% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Ukraine at 51%?
Ukraine sit 181 points higher on our strength rating — 1612 to 1793. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.8% of 6,686 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 20–25–55.
Why only 51%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 51% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 24% and Georgia at 25%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.7% of 25,155.
What did we measure but not count?
Georgia (11 fully-tracked matches with us) and Ukraine (11) carry strength ratings anchored to the official international ratings list, so the class read stands on far more than our own short records. National sides play too few games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from the published international ratings instead of a blind first guess.
