Ararat-Armenia suffered a 1-0 loss to Alashkert in a friendly game played during the break. They will now return to league action, where they secured a 3-0 win over the same Alashkert. Marius Noubissi scored the first goal of the game in the 33rd minute before Tenton Yenne extended the lead in the 40th minute. In the dying minutes of the game, Mathew Gbomadu made it 3-0. The Yerevan-based team remain unbeaten in their last four competitive games, with three wins and a draw. They have lost just once in their last five games at home to sit 4th on the table with 42 points in 21 games, scoring 44 goals and conceding 21. They are just one point behind defending champions and their visitors, Pyunik, and seven points off the table top.
