ADVANTAGE BEFORE 2ND LEG MATCH

The first match of this confrontation took place on September 18 last year. The first to open the score were the players of Pyunik, and the players of Urartu FC not only equalized the score, but also turned the course of the game in their favor at the last minute. Dmitry Guz and Aleksandr Radchenko managed to score. The 2nd leg was supposed to take place last year, but some players of Pyunik FC tested positive for coronavirus, so it was decided to postpone the match. The winner of this confrontation in the quarterfinals will face off against the current Cup holder, Noah FC.
