In a fiercely contested match in the Fastex Premier League, FC Ararat-Armenia emerged victorious over FC Urartu with a narrow 3-2 win. A significant factor in their win was the outstanding performance of Zhirayr Shaghoyan, who made a direct impact by scoring the opening goal and providing a crucial assist. This offensive contribution set a solid foundation for FC Ararat-Armenia, allowing them to maintain the lead throughout the match.

One of the pivotal aspects of FC Ararat-Armenia's strategy was their ability to capitalize on set-pieces and avoid offside traps, with zero offsides compared to FC Urartu's three. This discipline allowed them to execute their counter-attacks effectively, leading to both team goals in open play being well-timed and perfectly positioned. Their focus on organized offense and disciplined structure paid dividends against a less disciplined Urartu defense.

FC Urartu showed resilience, particularly through the efforts of Bruno Michel Santana, who scored twice from penalties. However, their dependence on penalties indicated a struggle to break through Ararat-Armenia's defense in open play, a fault magnified by their limited corner opportunities and the lack of assists. Additionally, a higher yellow card count for Ararat-Armenia, with five compared to Urartu’s two, highlighted potential weaknesses in their defensive discipline, an aspect that Urartu could exploit more effectively with tactical precision in future encounters.
