FOREWORD

At the Republican stadium named after Vazgen Sargsyan, the third round of the VBET Armenian Premier League, where Urartu FC held away with the current holder of the Armenian Cup, Ararat FC, has come to an end. Both teams celebrated only victories in the new season of the Armenian championship, and the interest in this match was quite great.

STRATEGY CHANGE

The scheme of Urartu FC has changed in comparison with the match with Sevan FC. The team acted 5-2-3 instead of 4-4-2. The Lions operated with three central defenders. Compared to the previous match, there was only one change in the starting line-up. Instead of Livio Milts, Vadym Paramonov started the game from the first minutes. And in the line-up of Ararat FC there was no leader of the attack of the team, Mory Kone, who, as it became known, will change the club registration in the near future.

UNREALIZED MOMENTS

In the first half there was an almost equal struggle. It was felt that the teams studied each other well, mostly acted without mistakes. In the first half, the players of both Ararat FC and Urartu FC could create dangerous moments, but not a single goal was scored. At the very beginning of the second half, Urartu FC players had a 100% chance to score twice. First, after a sharp pass from Narek Aghasaryan, Nana Antwi found himself in a very advantageous position, but after the last hit the ball hit the goal post, and a little later, after Iwu's head shot, the goalkeeper of Ararat FC Vsevolod Ermakov brilliantly reacted.

IF YOU'RE NOT SCORING, THEY SCORE YOU

At the end of the match, the players of Urartu FC conceded two goals on. At the 72nd minute, the players of Ararat FC started the attack from the left flank, which at first glance seemed to have been neutralized by the players Urartu FC, but Yakuba Silue opened the score of the match: 1-0. After the missed goal, the players of Urartu FC began to act more aggressively. There was still time, so it was possible not only to equalize the score, but also to come out ahead. Artur Miranyan had a very good chance to score, but missed from a very advantageous position, and Ararat FC increased its advantage with a retaliatory attack. The goal was scored by Igor Stanojevic. Ararat - Urartu 2-0.
