In what better way to illustrate the competitive and intense nature of Armenian Premier League football than the match between FC Ararat Yerevan and FC Shirak on 15th March 2024? The home team, FC Ararat Yerevan, came out victorious with a resounding 2-0 win against FC Shirak, thus extending their home field prowess.

The statistical data provides a clearer glimpse of the home team's superiority over the visitors throughout the match. FC Ararat Yerevan's forward, Kassim Hadji, was appreciably the highlight of the game as he managed to score two goals, one in each half of the match. Hadji's first goal came already 11 minutes and 49 seconds into the game, setting the early tone of the match in favor of the home team. His second goal, beautifully assisted by Bertrand Junior Mani one hour and thirty minutes into the match, sealed the fate of FC Shirak, leaving them with no chances of recovery.

As we look into the impressive offensive performance by Kassim Hadji and his close collaboration with Bertrand Junior Mani, it was clear that the collective effort by FC Ararat Yerevan brought them the victory. The offensive line effectively exploited the defensive lapses of the opposition to score both goals, while their defence kept a clean sheet, thanks to their discipline and organization.

The discipline was apparent, with FC Ararat Yerevan committing only 7 fouls compared to FC Shirak's 11 fouls. FC Shirak players Mory Kone, Seryozha Urushanyan, and Sokrat Hovhannisyan were all shown a yellow card in the second half, signifying not only the physicality of the game but the likely desperation of the visiting team to contain the surging home team. Reduction in discipline often indicates a struggling side, and unfortunately, in this match, that was the case for FC Shirak.

The home team's high pressing game seems to have worked effectively, as evidenced by the only instance of offside inflicted on the home team, compared to no offsides for FC Shirak. This demonstrates that FC Ararat Yerevan maintained a high defensive line forcing the opponents into mistakes, while also staying sharp on attack. It is also interesting to note that, despite FC Shirak's attempts to exert pressure - demonstrated by their 4 corner kicks against FC Ararat Yerevan's 2 - they were unsuccessful in converting these opportunities into goals.

In conclusion, the impressive two-goal performance by Hadji, supported by Mani's assisting prowess and the home team's excellent game discipline, were significant determinants in FC Ararat Yerevan's victory. FC Shirak, with a lack of offensive power and discipline, struggled to break the rhythm of the home team, resulting in their unfortunate defeat. This game adds to the understanding that football, as much as being about individual brilliance, is a team sport where coordination and discipline form the bedrock of any successful outfit.
