In this clash of the Armenian Premier League on 10th May 2023 at the Yerevan Football Academy Stadium, it was FC Alashkert that held their nerve until the very end, edging out FC Ararat-Armenia 1-0 in a tense encounter. The crucial goal came late in the second half by Yeison Bossa Racines off a brilliant assist from Daniel Jose Carrillo Montilla. A superior goal conversion ratio appears to have been the essential vector separating quality from mediocrity in this intense match.

Despite the fact that both teams had a downright parity in corner kicks, with each equalling a tally of 5, FC Alashkert's more aggressive stance in the striking zone was evident. They launched 10 shots, albeit just 2 were on target, it was enough to penetrate the home team defence once, while the home team's attack seemed comparatively lacklustre with just one on-target shot from a total of 3 attempts.

The card-count also revealed the home team's undisciplined behaviour with a total of 7 yellow cards being awarded to FC Ararat-Armenia; four in the first half and three in the second half. This resulted in a disruptive game flow which likely affected Ararat's offensive capabilities. It's worthwhile noting that this card predicament, compounded with the significant proportion of 27 fouls committed by the home team, stood as inhibiting factors to their desired progression in the match. The away team however, maintained their cool throughout the match with only 2 yellow cards and 13 fouls.

One aspect where FC Ararat-Armenia did pose some semblance of control was in the offside détente. They effectively drew FC Alashkert into offside positions 3 times while maintaining a tight leash in their own offensive advances to inherently nullify being flagged offside. This shows a high level of tactical awareness from FC Ararat-Armenia, but unfortunately, it didn't ultimately alter the outcome of the match.

In conclusion, discipline and accuracy were the primary defining factors of this match. While FC Alashkert triumphed with a decisive goal, FC Ararat-Armenia's indiscipline and inaccurate attempts at goal significantly impaired their performance. Match data reveals that their high foul count and yellow card tally disrupted their rhythm and flow, impacting negatively on their much-needed quality chances at scoring. When it came down to it, FC Alashkert took their chances and made them count making them the deserving winner of this tense encounter.
