The fiercely contested Armenian Premier League match between FC Shirak and FC Alashkert emanated from the Gyumri City Stadium on 31st August 2023. The away team, FC Alashkert, clinched victory by a narrow margin scoring three goals to FC Shirak's two.

Discipline was one area that impacted FC Shirak's performance. They amassed three yellow cards, a significantly higher count compared to FC Alashkert's single booking.

Their notably aggressive playstyle may have contributed to their dismissal chances, thereby affecting their attacking pressure.

FC Shirak's two assists compared to zero for FC Alashkert implies that they were able to effectively set up scoring plays, largely due to good teamwork and communication. However, their inability to capitalize on theseadditional opportunities ultimately cost them the game as FC Alashkert were more clinical in their finishing.

In conclusion, FC Alashkert won the match due to their ability to make the most of their opportunities, scoring from fewer chances, aided by strong individual performances. On the other hand, despite FC Shirak showcasing impressive teamwork, their attack was let down by a lack of discipline and failure to maximize their created chances, as evidenced in the crucial match statistics.
