The national football team today secured another victory in the World Cup qualifying round.
The Armenian national team hosted Romania’s squad on home soil. The first half saw no goals, but the second half was goal-rich.
The score was opened in the 56th minute by Eduard Spertsyan, who was making his debut in the national team’s lineup. In the 62nd minute, Alexandru Cicaldau equalised the score, and then in the 72nd minute he completed a brace.
In the 77th minute, Alexandru Pușcaș was sent off the field for a rough foul. The Romanians, reduced to 10 men, could not withstand the pressure of Armenia’s footballers. In the 87th minute, Varazdat Haroyan equalised the score, and in the 89th minute, Tigran Barseghyan successfully converted a penalty kick, making the score 3:2.
At this moment, Armenia’s national team leads the Group J standings with 9 points.
Immediately after the victory, Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan issued a brief statement, writing: “To win after defeats, to win while losing, to secure a willed victory. Our national team’s victory today is certainly dedicated to Commandos and to all our fallen brothers.”
Armenia’s national team recorded a historic result in the World Cup qualifying round, celebrating its third consecutive victory. Armenia-Romania: 3:2.
