Bentonit Ijevan saw off Noa II 7-0 on Thursday at the Regular Season round 3 fixture in Armenia's First League. The match took place on the 14th of August, 2026, and ended with a scoreline that left little doubt about the superior side. To be fair, the result reflected what had been brewing in both teams' form over recent weeks.
Before kick-off, Noa II sat seventh with six points from six games — one win, three draws, two losses. Bentonit Ijevan occupied eighth place with five points from four matches, recording one victory, two draws and a single defeat. The visitors' performance shifted the dynamic considerably.
Noa II's recent results had been mixed at best. They drew 2-2 with Banants II on the 10th of August, then lost 2-3 to Mika four days earlier. And here's the thing — this was not a side known for collapsing so comprehensively. Their previous five fixtures showed flashes of competence alongside occasional vulnerability.
Bentonit Ijevan came into this match following a 3-3 draw with Olympia Yerevan on the 9th of August. Prior to that they had lost 1-3 to Sardarapat and 0-2 to Pyunik Erevan II. By then any doubts about their resilience should have been answered — this was a team capable of scoring freely and competing against established opposition.
Seven goals without reply tells you everything about a match where one side simply took control. Noa II had nothing to do all evening, while Bentonit Ijevan ran the show from start to finish. The hosts cannot afford another slip if they hope to climb the table.
The result leaves Noa II still seventh on six points after seven games. Bentonit Ijevan move up to sixth with eight points from five matches, having now turned their campaign around. The gap between them narrows considerably in a league where every point matters.
