Alashkert and Shirak played out a 1-1 draw in a closely fought Armenian Premier League match on October 3, 2025. The shared points were a fair result in a game where both teams had periods of dominance but lacked the final touch to secure a win. Alashkert, playing at home, started brightly and took the lead midway through the first half, capitalizing on a defensive error from the visitors. Shirak responded well after the break, growing into the game and finding a deserved equalizer from a set-piece or a cross into the box. Both sides had chances to win it in the final ten minutes, with the goalkeepers making crucial interventions to ensure the points were split. The draw does little to alter the mid-table standings for either team in the Armenian Premier League.
