Pyunik II Yerevan and Bannants II played out a 2:2 draw in the First League's Regular Season round three on Saturday. The result keeps Pyunik II in third place with six points already, while Bannants II remain tenth after five matches.
By then Pyunik II had already played one more fixture than their visitors, and that extra game showed in the table. They sit on eleven points from three wins and two draws, while Bannants II have only five points from a single victory.
And here's the thing about recent form. Pyunik II came into this match with momentum, having beaten Mika 4:2 and Ararat-Armenia II 1:0 in their last two outings. Bannants II, by contrast, had lost to Olympia Yerevan and drawn with Noah II in the same period.
To be fair, the draw does give Bannants II something to build on. They had shown earlier capacity to score, beating Lerain Arzach 3:2 in May, even if that form has been inconsistent since.
The First League continues to tighten. Three points separate Pyunik II from the top, and Bannants II still have work to do to climb away from the bottom half. This was a game that could have gone either way, and the split points reflect that balance.
