Ararat II claimed a comprehensive victory away from home against Araks Ararat, running out 4-0 winners in the opening match of the Regular Season. The game took place on 4 August 2026 in the First League, with the visitors demonstrating superior quality across ninety minutes. And here's the thing — the result was never in doubt for long.
Araks Ararat arrived in tenth place with five points from four matches, having secured one win, two draws and suffered a single defeat. Their home record offered little comfort against an Ararat II side that had failed to take a point in four previous outings. They were thoroughly outplayed, gave away too many cheap fouls and paid the price for each mistake.
The visitors sit bottom of the table in fourteenth position, having lost every one of their four games so far. Yet this performance suggested a significant shift in their fortunes. They took them apart in the opening exchanges, never allowing Araks Ararat any foothold in the match. A clean sheet and four goals marked a statement of intent from the away side.
Recent form tells a stark contrast between the two clubs. Araks Ararat's last five fixtures included a heavy 7-1 defeat to Andranik alongside wins against Ararat-Armenia II and Mika. Ararat II's recent run has been brutal — losses to Sunik, Andranik, Ararat-Armenia II, BKMA II and Khayk, with only one goal scored in that span.
The scoreline leaves Araks Ararat still in the middle of the table, though their confidence may well be bruised. Ararat II remain bottom but have extended their unbeaten run — or rather, ended a winless streak that stretched across four matches. The gap between them sits at nine points, though that will close as the season progresses.
