FC Alashkert edged Gandzasar FA 3-1 at Alashkert Stadium, with a decisive start that hinged on two early penalties converted by Karen Nalbandyan. The first-half double saw the home side lead 2-0 before Narek Alaverdyan pulled one back for Gandzasar after the break.

Caio Henrique Pereira Santos finished to make it 3-1 in the second half, with the assist coming from Olawale Farayola. The late third goal sealed the result and demonstrated Alashkert’s ability to convert wide-play pressure into a decisive finish. The sequence shows a clear link between Farayola’s involvement and the final-third output.

Defensively, Alashkert conceded a goal shortly after halftime but otherwise maintained a controlled balance with 13 fouls to Gandzasar’s 12. Both sides collected two yellow cards, and there were no red cards, indicating a tightly contested but disciplined stoppage in the second half. The immediate post-halftime cautions (home and away players shown within a minute of each other) point to a tense, physical shift after the break.

Set-piece and attacking patterns were evenly contested, with eight corners for each side and one-offside apiece. No team exploited set-pieces to the extent of a goal, but Alashkert’s two penalties underscore their effectiveness in forcing defensive errors in the box. The overall balance in corners and the absence of a decisive set-piece edge suggest the match was decided by clinical finishing inside the penalty area.

From a betting perspective, the match highlighted how early penalty conversions can set a game’s tone and translate into a comfortable lead. Gandzasar’s immediate reaction showed resilience, but the third-goal cushion ultimately anchored the result. The absence of red cards and the near-equal foul count reinforce the notion that discipline and finishing quality were the decisive factors.
