The 2024/25 Fastex Premier League season has come to its logical end. All questions have received their answers. Today, Ararat-Armenia and Ararat, Urartu and Charentsavan's Van measured their strength. The black and whites sent six unanswered goals into Tigran Yesayan's Ararat goal.
From the start of the match, Zhirayr Shaghoyan threatened the goal defended by Andranik Martirosyan with intense attacks, which yielded results. In the 29th minute of the match, Marius Nubissi opened the score from a pass by 31-year-old Armen Hambardzumyan. He made two assists in this match and once sent the ball into the opponent's goal, and the 31-year-old Cameroonian footballer also scored a goal in his name as a result of cooperation with Edgar Grigoryan, who was the second in the Ararat derby this season (61, 79). Once on the way to the locker room, Hovhannes Hambardzumyan stood out as a result of a three-way cooperation, as a result of a game with Kamo Hovhannisyan and Jonathan Duarte. Once again, Nigerian 25-year-old Tenton Yenne was effective, again according to the captain.
Thus, Vardan Minasyan's Ararat-Armenia became the vice-champion of Armenia and will start the fight from the second round of the Conference League qualification, surpassing Dmitry Gunko's Urartu in the tournament table by four points. Note that the Armenian specialist also became the best coach of April.
In a parallel match, Urartu lost to Vahe Gevorgyan's Van. From a game perspective, the Yerevan club had the advantage, but in the fourth minute of the match, the score was opened thanks to Izuchukwu Okonkwo. Until the end of the first half, Gunko's boys spared no effort and energy, doing everything to capture Arsen Darpas, but in vain.
During those attacks, Armenian national team player Karen Melkonyan stood out, who has been in good form recently, but was not invited to the country's main team to participate in the friendly matches against Kosovo and Montenegro, which will take place on June 6 and 9, respectively.
According to sportsworld.am, the best football players are Ararat-Armenia FC striker Marius Nubissi and Urartu FC striker Karen Melkonyan.
The top five are Noah with 75 points, Ararat-Armenia with 66, Urartu with 62, and Pyunik with 53 points.
