In a tightly contested encounter between FC Noah and FC Ararat-Armenia on the 27th of May, 2023 at the Abovyan City Stadium, FC Noah emerged victorious with a hard-fought 2-1 win. This was despite some neatly-intricate attacking displays by both sides yielding an uneven outcome.
Let’s delve into the statistical dynamics that influenced the outcome of the game. FC Noah managed 2 goals from only 3 shots on target, presenting a stunning conversion rate, with Levon Vardanyan opening the scoring and Goodnews Igbokwe netting the decisive strike in the second half. FC Ararat suffered from an unsuccessful execution, accumulating 5 shots on target but managing just a single goal, the equalizer achieved by Artur Serobyan via a penalty. Ararat also suffered in terms of direction, shooting off target 13 times, as opposed to Noah’s count of 7.
In the realm of infringements, FC Noah picked up four yellow cards, as Artur Danielyan, Sergey Muradyan, Raul Balbarau, and Okezie Prince Ebenezer were cautioned by the referee. In return, the away side saw Amos Nondi and Edgar Grigoryan booked, pointing towards a rather disciplined FC Ararat. However, Ararat's discipline still led to them committing 9 fouls, compared to Noah's 5, indicating a higher level of aggression or desperation.
Whilst FC Ararat surprisingly dominated set pieces with eight corner kicks compared to FC Noah's solitary set-piece, it was largely futile as Noah’s defensive regiment managed to stave off the threats. Moreover, FC Ararat accumulated more offsides (3) than Noah (2), indicating a more aggressive but often mistimed attacking strategy.
Despite being under considerable pressure, particularly in the second half during which Ararat threw all that they could muster at Noah, the teamwork and resilience demonstrated by FC Noah were pivotal in their win.
Noteworthy, is the fact that FC Noah's scoring efficiency stood out, and the strength of their backline, able to withstand the pressure from FC Ararat's attacks, was influential in the game's outcome.
In conclusion, FC Noah's triumph over FC Ararat-Armenia despite lower possession and fewer attempts on goal, highlights the importance of efficiency in front of goal, defensive resilience, and the need for discipline. This match also has implications for bettors who should not only take into consideration attempts on goal but conversion rates, defensive capabilities, and disciplinary records when making their selections.
