In a thrilling encounter at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium between FC Pyunik and FC Shirak, both teams demonstrated strong defensive strategies, indicative of the few goals scored - one for each team. These goals were netted during the second half of the competition by FC Pyunik's Luka Juricic at 01:24:00 and equalized by FC Shirak's Donald Kodia at 01:32:00.

Ball possession was evident through the number of corner kicks won by each team. FC Pyunik dominated the pitch by securing 8 corner kicks, four times more than FC Shirak's 2. This illustrates FC Pyunik's aggressive attacking approach with excellent penetration into FC Shirak's half, but the latter notably demonstrated strong defensive tactics, limiting the home team to a single goal.

The number of fouls made throughout the game, a total of 13 (6 by FC Pyunik and 7 by FC Shirak), demonstrated how much both teams prioritized pressing in order to recover possession. This competitive nature was further evidenced by each squad amassing two yellow cards apiece. FC Pyunik’s Luka Juricic and James Santos das Neves received theirs, while FC Shirak’s Hamlet Mnacakanyan was also cautioned.

However, the discipline of both teams deserves commendation, as they were able to repress their aggression with no red card awarded. FC Pyunik managed to keep a clean sheet when it came to offsides, whereas FC Shirak had one decision go against them, implying their forward thrusts were more reckless.

In summary, this match butted strength against strength, with both teams putting on quite a show defensively and in terms of aggressiveness. Although FC Pyunik seemed to have superior control of the game due to their dominance in corner kicks, FC Shirak's compact defence managed to hold them off, ensuring the game ended in a 1-1 hard-fought draw. The lack of control shown by FC Shirak in receiving an offside call and on the other hand, FC Pyunik’s disciplined line-up that avoided going offside, were notable tactical parameters of the game.
