CL: "Noah" suffered its first defeat

In the third round of the UEFA Conference League, Armenian champion/cupholder Noah hosted Czech Sigma Olomouc.

At the start of the match, the Yerevan club had a shot on goal, but failed to score due to an unsuccessful pass. In the tenth minute of the match, the guests opened the score thanks to a goal by Filip Slaviček, who made a second shot on goal after a rebound (0:1). In the 21st minute of the match, Nardin Mulahusejnović equalized the score (1:1). Three minutes later, Sigma took the lead again, with Abdulaj Silla putting his team ahead (1:2). As the Croatian specialist noted during yesterday's press conference, "Those players who will be in the starting lineup and will come on as substitutes will show their best qualities." In the 40th minute of the match, Sandro Perković's men, coming out of defense, organized a positional attack, but the opponent did not allow them to approach the penalty area. 

In the first half, the head referee, Mohammad Usman Aslam, added eight minutes, which is enough time to restore the balance of the score. In the previous round, when “Noa” measured its strength at the opponent’s field with “Universitatea Craiova”, which ended in a draw (1:1), Sergey Muradyan and his teammates showed their typical football, but after conceding the second goal in this match, “Noa” took quite a long time to activate. After a free kick in the 84th minute, the Armenian representative could have equalized the score, but the ball did not cross the goal line, after which “Noa” created three scoring opportunities, which were again unsuccessful. Thus, “Noa” suffered its first defeat in this tournament.
