The Armenian national team hosted the Moldova national team in an international friendly match. This is the last match before the start of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League, where our team is included in Division C, where they will face the national teams of Montenegro, Cyprus and Latvia.
During the first half, Eduard Spertsyan and his teammates had their chances, just like in the game against Kazakhstan (1:1), but in this game, too, no goals were scored during the opening 45 minutes.
In today's match, the goalkeeper of Yerevan's Urartu, Alexander Mishev, defended the goal of the national team for the first time. The 22-year-old football player defended the goal of the "Orange" 24 times in all competitions last season.
According to sportsworld.am , one of the target areas for our team is corner kicks. In those situations, Armenian football players seem to not understand each other, as a result of which they are unable to complete attacks.
In the second half, our team had a real scoring opportunity: after Hrant-Leon Ranos' shot, the opponent's player deflected the ball away from the unguarded goal.
Apart from this episode, our boys had several more episodes, but they were also crowned with failure. At the end of the match, the Armenian national team showed quite active football, but failed to break through the opponent's defense. In the 89th minute of the match, the Armenian national team opened the score of the match, the goal was scored by the newly crowned champion of Armenia, the football player of "Ararat-Armenia", Artur Serobyan (1:0), but the Moldovan team equalized the score with a goal by Victor Bokachuk (1:1).
