FC Noah suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Ararat-Armenia FC in an Armenian Premier League match played on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The visitors came from behind to claim all three points in a match that had significant implications for the upper half of the league standings. Noah took an early lead through a well-worked team goal finished by their captain, but Ararat-Armenia equalized before halftime from a set-piece. The match winner came in the 75th minute after a defensive lapse from Noah allowed Ararat-Armenia's winger to cut inside and fire a low shot into the corner. The key incident was a disallowed goal for FC Noah for offside in the second half, a tight VAR check that went against the hosts. This result pushed Ararat-Armenia closer to the European qualification spots, while leaving FC Noah in a precarious mid-table position. The Ararat-Armenia manager highlighted his team's character, while the Noah coach pointed to small mistakes costing them the game. The lineups featured Noah in a 4-3-3 and Ararat-Armenia in a flexible 4-2-3-1 system.
