From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Kakhi Gogichaishvili scored from a penalty in the 28th minute to give Dynamo Tbilisi a 1-0 victory over Boavista in their second-round, first leg Uefa Cup game yesterday in Georgia.

Tbilisi were on top throughout the first half without making their superiority count. The breakthrough came when their defender Gocha Jamaruli raced forward and was pulled down by a Boavista defender to give Gogichaishvili his opportunity.

The Portuguese came into the match more in the second half, but Tbilisi's goalkeeper, Irakli Zoidze, made several crucial saves to delight the 50,000 crowd.
