Match overview

Noah imposed themselves from the first whistle, pressing Urartu’s defenders and forcing mistakes in deep areas. The opening goal came midway through the first half and immediately changed the complexion of the match. Urartu tried to respond, but Noah’s midfield controlled the tempo and consistently won the ball back before Urartu could settle.

After the break, Noah remained the more dangerous side. A second goal just past the hour mark effectively ended Urartu’s resistance, and a late third added a deserved gloss to the scoreline. It was a complete away display: organized, relentless, and efficient.

Key moments

• 21st minute: Davit Hakobyan gave Noah the lead with a low drive after a quick turnover in midfield.
• 63rd minute: Narek Grigoryan doubled the advantage, finishing calmly after being played through one-on-one.
• 70th minute: Urartu’s hopes faded further when a defender was shown a second yellow card.
• 89th minute: Edgar Movsisyan completed the scoring with a close-range finish amid a tired Urartu defense.

Tactical story

Noah’s 4-2-3-1 system worked perfectly against Urartu’s build-up play. The two holding midfielders screened the central lane, while the attacking trio drifted into pockets of space between Urartu’s lines. Urartu struggled to play through the middle and were repeatedly pushed sideways, where Noah’s full-backs pressed aggressively.

The red card made the final 20 minutes even more one-sided, but Noah were already in control. Their decision-making in the final third was the biggest difference: where Urartu rushed chances, Noah waited for the right moment and picked their passes with precision.

Standout players

Davit Hakobyan was influential throughout, not only for his goal but for his link-up play. Narek Grigoryan’s movement caused constant problems, and Edgar Movsisyan’s late goal capped a strong substitute appearance. In defense, Noah’s center-backs dealt well with Urartu’s aerial attempts.

Urartu’s goalkeeper made several saves to prevent a heavier defeat, and their captain tried to drive the team forward, but the hosts lacked the cutting edge needed to get back into the contest.

Armenian Premier League title race impact

This 3-0 win gives FC Noah a major psychological boost and valuable goal difference in the Armenian Premier League table. Beating a direct rival away from home sends a strong message about their title credentials. Urartu, meanwhile, will need to address their struggles in possession and their discipline after the red card.

With the season still developing, Noah’s ability to win big matches on the road could prove decisive. For Urartu, the focus must shift quickly to the next fixture, as dropped points at home can be costly in a competitive title race.
