19/04/2021

In the postponed 11th round of the VBET Armenian Premier League Urartu FC lost at home to Pyunik FC with a minimum score. The only goal of the match was scored by Higor Leite.

In the previous match of Premier League, Urartu FC had a tough match with Alashkert FC, conceding a goal in the last minute of the match, and Pyunik FC had a confident 3-0 lead over Van FC.

Compared to the match with Alashkert, there was one change in our team, instead of Oleg Poliakov, Vitinho was included in the starting line-up. The match turned out to be active, but there were few scoring chances both in the first half and throughout the match. From the Lions, Karen Melkonyan and Edgar Grigoryan were active. In addition, Arsen Beglaryan acted confidently in a rather dangerous situation close to his goals. As a result of incorrect actions in the attack line on the 26th minute, Pyunik launched a counterattack, which ended with a goal by HIgor Leite.

In the second half, Urartu had an advantage, the home team constantly attacked, unfortunately, the attacks did not end with goals. The guests tried to threaten with counterattacks. True, no other goals were scored in this match. Urartu lost the second game in a row with a minimum score․ Urartu FC - Pyunik FC 0-1.

After this match, Urartu has 24 points and continues to remain in 5th place. We will hold the next match at home again, this time Lions will face the reigning champion - Ararat-Armenia FC. The match will take place at Urartu stadium on April 25, kick-off at 19:00.
