The sole goal of the match was scored by Mateo Muzek in the first half, in the 9th minute, putting the FC Alashkert team into an early lead. This was a decisive strike in a game mostly dominated by the away side. This early lead set the tone for the rest of the match and made a noticeable impact on FC Shirak's strategy, apparent in their defensive behavior.

Analyzing the game based on the statistics available, FC Alashkert outperformed FC Shirak in terms of shots on goal, taking a considerable 15 shots as compared to FC Shirak's 5. Of these, 5 were on target for FC Alashkert while only 2 were on target for the home team implying, the aggressiveness and efficiency of FC Alashkert's attacking department.

Despite this, however, FC Shirak's defense and goalkeeper deserve credit for limiting the number of successful goals, as they managed to save the others. The undisputable fact is that the two yellow cards received by the team, given to Arsen Sadoyan and Aleksa Vidic, also manifested the team’s struggle in trying to contain Alaskhert’s offensive maneuvers.

Moreover, FC Alashkert exhibited better offensive play, evident in 6 corner kicks they secured as compared to just 2 by the home team.

Considering fouls, it's noteworthy that FC Shirak committed four times as many fouls as FC Alashkert. This could mean that they were often on the back foot, potentially indicating the higher pressure from the opposition's attacking play. These fouls also resulted in two yellow cards for FC Shirak, which could have disrupted their game strategy, further contributing to their loss. FC Alashkert also had two players booked.

In conclusion, the statistical evidence suggests that FC Alashkert's strategy, led by their early goal and continued pressure on the home team, paid off significantly, leading to their victory. A combination of efficient attacking, controlled aggression, and minimal errors ensured the away team bagged the three points. On the other hand, FC Shirak might need to look into improving their defensive tactics, minimizing fouls and increasing offensive attempts to improve in forthcoming matches.
