In the latest clash of the Armenian Premier League, FC Ararat Yerevan outplayed FC Shirak at Gyumri City Stadium on the 8th of November 2023, with an intense final score of 2-1.

The match began with Ararat's effervescent opener made by Clement Lhernault in the 14th minute, thanks to well-calculated assist from Malick Aziz Berte. This early goal definitely set FC Shirak on their back foot and demonstrated the offensive strength of Ararat Yerevan.

However, FC Shirak demonstrated resilience and a fighting spirit as they levelled the game in the 72nd minute of the second half. Donald Kodia, with substantial support from Dimitrije Pobulic, found the back of the net, equalising the score. Although their corner kick advantage with a count of 2 compared to Ararat’s 0 could have boomed advantageous, Shirak could not capitalise enough to notch a second goal.

Barely two minutes past Shirak’s equalising goal, Kassim Hadji of FC Ararat Yerevan gave his team the lead once again with a goal at the 73rd minute assisted by Hadji Issa Moustapha. Ararat’s quick bounce-back illustrated their tenacity and speed in response.

Despite their three yellow cards picked by Malick Aziz Berte, Bertrand Junior Mani and Nemanja Lemajic consecutively in the time frame 89th to 93rd minute, Ararat remained able to maintain their one-goal margin. Both teams exhibited a somewhat aggressive approach towards the end, each earning yellow cards, but Shirak failing to turn the tide towards their favour.

The impact of two red cards conceded by FC Ararat Yerevan was not enough for FC Shirak to capitalise upon and turn the score to their advantage. It sheds light on the Ararat’s strong and effective defensive line that secured the win even at the numerical disadvantage.

In conclusion, the persistent and fast-paced attack of FC Ararat Yerevan coupled with a robust defence proved to be the key factors in their victory over FC Shirak. On the other hand, FC Shirak showed some potent threat but lacked the finishing touch to ensure a win.
