GENEVA--Armenia's national soccer team won their friendly face-off
against the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday in Switzerland with a
final score of 4 - 3 at Geneva's Stade de la Fontenette Carouge.
The score line was opened by Armenia's Levon Hayrapetyan with a goal
at the 37th minutes, but the two teams would stay level pegging for
much of the game. First came a response by the Emirates' Ismail Ahmed
making it 1 - 1, then Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan with a
goal in net to make it 2 - 1 before half-time.
At the outset of the second half, the UAE's Omar Abdulrahman equalized
again before Armenia took the lead by two goals from striker Yura
Movsisyan and midfielder Rumyan Hovsepyan who scored within four
minutes of one another.
The UAE's Mohanad Salem found the target at the 85th minute, but it
was too late for an equalizer and the score was 4 - 3 for Armenia at
the full-time whistle.
The match was the first for Armenia's new coach Bernard Challandes,
who has scheduled two more friendly matches before the start of the
World Cup and before the start of Armenia's next Euro 2016 qualifying
campaign, which will start in September.
Armenia will face Algeria next on Saturday, May 31, and then Germany
on Friday, June 6, just ahead of the start of the World Cup.
