Shirak II claimed a 2:1 victory over Ararat II on Wednesday in the First League, extending their unbeaten run to three matches. The result came in regular season round four, played on August nineteenth.
Ararat II remain rooted at the bottom of the standings. Three games, three defeats, zero points — they have yet to find any form this campaign. To be fair, the fixture was always going to be difficult for them.
Shirak II sit eleventh now with four points from four outings. One win, one draw, two losses — not spectacular, but they have pulled clear of the danger zone. And here's the thing about away victories: they matter more when you are still searching for consistency.
The recent results for both sides tell a mixed story. Ararat II lost 1:3 to Araks Ararat and also dropped points against other opponents, while Shirak II drew 1:1 with Araks Ararat after an earlier defeat. Form is never straightforward in this league.
By then, the gap between the teams in the table will have widened further if results go this way. Ararat II need a win — any win — to believe they can climb out. Shirak II simply need to keep building on what they have started.
