Pyunik faces no problems in the game against Van

Pyunik beat Van 3:1 in the 10th round of the Fastex Armenian Premier League in Charentsavan.

The beginning of the meeting passed without dangerous moments. The first goal in this match was scored in the 33rd minute; Agdon Menezes' header bounced off the crossbar, but the Brazilian added efforts and opened the score.

The phrase ‘a goal in a dressing room worked in our favor this time. In the 45th minute, after a corner kick, Yusuf Otubanjo, with his back to the goal, made a billiard pass to Caraballo, and the Venezuelan scored into the net with an unstoppable header, 2:0.

In the second half, Pyunik showed competent football and did not allow the Charentsavan team to threaten Buchnev's goal.

The question of the winner was closed 13 minutes before the end of regular time when our lightning counter-attack ended with a goal by James Santos. Van did, however, get one goal back, scored by Kajali Drame.

This game also marked several anniversaries. Yusuf Otubanjo played his 100th official match in our team colors. Our midfielder Artak Grigoryan also achieved a unique achievement. The 36-year-old footballer played his 400th official match in the Armenian championships. Mikhail Kovalenko also crossed the threshold of 100 games in the Armenian Premier League.
