Arats secured a narrow 1-0 victory over BCKAMA in the Premier League's Regular Season round four on 23 August 2026. The result keeps the visitors perfect through five matches while BCKAMA's struggles continue. And here's the thing — it wasn't the kind of game you'd expect from a table-topping side against a mid-table outfit.
Yellow cards came early, with A. Petrosyan booked in the 20th minute and T. Oshima following in the 22nd. Both cautions suggested a tense opening period, though neither side could find an opening. By then, it was clear this would be a tight affair.
The decisive moment arrived in the 73rd minute when Z. Khudaverdyan struck the only goal of the match. The goal came after a series of substitutions had changed the game's shape, with Helder Ferreira and H. Manukyan both introduced at half-time. To be fair, BCKAMA had opportunities to respond.
Those opportunities diminished further in the 81st minute when M. Lazetic missed a penalty. The miss proved costly, leaving BCKAMA with nothing but frustration in the final quarter of play. Things came to a head as the hosts pushed forward desperately.
Five substitutions were made across the match, with both teams bringing on fresh legs in the closing stages. D. Harutyunyan and A. Askaryan were among the final changes at 90+2 minutes. The game ended with Arats holding firm against the pressure.
The result leaves Arats top of the table with 15 points from five wins, while BCKAMA sit eighth with just four points. The gap between them now stands at 11 points after this round. And here's the thing — BCKAMA's recent form makes this result all the more disappointing, especially after a goalless draw against Shirkak just days earlier.
