Armenian Premier League – 8 May 2026

Match Report: A Tight Affair in Charentsavan

FK Van Charentsavan edged out Shirak 1-0 in a tense Armenian Premier League encounter on Friday evening. A solitary first-half goal proved enough to separate the sides, as the home side defended resolutely to claim three vital points in the race for European qualification.

Decisive Moment

The only goal of the game arrived in the 32nd minute. A swift move down the right flank ended with a low cross that was turned home from close range by a Van forward, leaving the Shirak goalkeeper with no chance. Shirak struggled to create clear opportunities throughout the first period, with Van’s midfield pressing effectively to break up play.

Second Half: Shirak Push, Van Hold Firm

After the interval, Shirak increased the tempo and enjoyed spells of possession, but Van’s defence stood tall. The home side’s goalkeeper was called into action only twice, making routine saves. As the clock wound down, Shirak threw bodies forward but could not find a way through. Van’s discipline and organisation earned them a clean sheet and a hard-fought win.

League Context

The victory lifts FK Van Charentsavan into the top half of the Armenian Premier League standings, keeping them within striking distance of the top three. Shirak, meanwhile, remain in the lower half and will need to improve their attacking output in the coming match weeks.
