"In today's match, our primarily objective was not to miss a goal and secondly, to score a goal. However, none of them have been done because the opponent was a good team and had good legionaries,"Ararat's coach Edgar Torosyan, who has already played three matches as the team's chief coach, told a post-match press conference. "Today we needed only a victory or a superb draw (2: 2), as the first game in Gyumri ended with a score of 1: 1. We had good opportunities in the first half, but we could not use them, and, in the second half, we managed to score a goal. This victory was important in psychological terms, as we couldn't manage to win in the last games of the championship. Now, we have three days to prepare for the next match. I hope the guys will be ready for the important match with Alashkert soon, "said Shirak coach Vahan Bichakhchyan after the match.
