The Armenian Premier League match on May 30, 2023 saw a 1-1 draw between the home team FC Ararat Yerevan and the away team BKMA Yerevan. The match played out at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium ended up being a defensively charged display with each goal sunk in the hard-fought second half.

FC Ararat Yerevan and BKMA Yerevan both scored by penalties, an indication of attempts to stifle the opponents' attacks leading to infringements within the penalty area. For BKMA Yerevan, Mikayel Mirzoyan punched in a penalty at 54:24, breaking the deadlock. Aleksandar Glisic of FC Ararat Yerevan responded later with his own penalty goal at 91:08, salvaging a draw for the home side.

Coupled with the penalties, the number of yellow cards issued also underline the intensity of the clash. FC Ararat Yerevan accumulated three yellow cards compared to BKMA Yerevan’s two. The more aggressive play from FC Ararat may have added pressure on the BKMA side but also left Ararat more open to fouls, accumulating 16 in total compared to BKMA's 11.

In terms of shots, the home team had 17 attempts with only three on target—a rather disappointing conversion rate. BKMA Yerevan were slightly more successful, with four of their 14 attempts hitting the mark. However, it's clear that both teams struggled to convert their chances or effectively trouble the keepers.

FC Ararat Yerevan dominated the corner kicks by a large margin of 11 to 3. This suggests they were more successful at applying pressure and forcing defensive errors, but their poor conversion of these set-pieces into productive opportunities is conspicuous. Furthermore, BKMA Yerevan were caught offside twice, indicating active defensive tactics from FC Ararat Yerevan providing some containment.

In conclusion, both FC Ararat Yerevan and BKMA Yerevan demonstrated strong defensive strategies but also struggled to convert in the attack. Failing to capitalise on the number of corner kicks and recording a low rate of shots on target are indicative of the home team's offensive difficulties. In contrast, BKMA Yerevan overcame these challenges more successfully than their opponent by being more accurate with fewer shots. Looking ahead, the key for both teams is transforming these statistical insights into more tactical prowess.
