Armenian champion/cupholder Noah defeated Legia Warsaw 2-1 at Yerevan's Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium on December 11. The goals were scored by Nardin Mulahuseynovich and Mateus Ajas. Mulahuseynovich has scored five goals for the Yerevan club in the current tournament, while Ajas has one goal and one assist to his name. The Republican Stadium hosted a warm reception for the Armenian champion.
As Sandro Perkovic said during the pre-match press conference: "Tomorrow we will show that there is a reason why we wear this jersey. We are preparing to show it not with words, but on the pitch with deeds", the press conference is here. According to UEFA, "Noah" was playing in a 3-4-2-1 formation. The start of the match did not go well for the Armenian representative, but with the support of the fans in the stadium, Mulahusejnovic and his teammates achieved a historic victory, which is to win at least a ticket to the 1/16 finals of the Conference League. The Croatian specialist thanked "Noah"'s 12th player for his support in the post-match press conference, the post-match press conference is here. The reigning champion has only won one of its last ten games in the Armenian domestic championship (Fastex Premier League). According to sportsworld.am, this result has two reasons: the first is concentration, and the second is the absence of key players.
Five clubs have eight points each in the Conference League League standings heading into the final round. Sandro Perkovic's team is currently in 17th place, trailing Reika, who they beat 1-0 in Yerevan, Omonia FC and Lausanne Sport. In five games in the current tournament, Matheus Ajas and his team have won two, lost one, drawn two, conceded six goals and conceded five.
In the last match of the sixth round, the Yerevan club will face Dynamo Kyiv in an away match, who are in 28th place with three points. Noah players Gustavo Sangare and Timothy Fayulu will not participate in the match, they will join their national teams, details here.
The Croatian specialist has many options at his disposal to replace these two players: Ognjen Cancharevich, Alexey Ploshadny, Hovhannes Harutyunyan, Artak Dashyan, Aram Khamoyan, etc. According to some information, the president of Dynamo Kyiv has dismissed the head coach, taking into account this situation, we can assume that the Ukrainian representative also has problems. Let's add that the match will be held in Poland.
