YEREVAN (Tert.am), May 26-Last night the Armenian national football team hosted their Uzbekistani rivals at Republican Stadium in Yerevan.

Though not all the best players were participating in this friendly match, Armenia secured its victory with Henrikh Mkhitaryan opening the score at the sixth minute.

Interestingly, Atryom Philiposyan, an Armenian national playing at the Uzbekistan team, was forbidden to continue the match at the 15th minute for violating the rules while competing with Edgar Manucharyan. So the Uzbeks had to continue the match with one less player.

Manucharyan nailed his 11-meter penalty kick, raising the probability for Armenia’s unassailable victory.

Levon Pachajyan, in turn, kicked the third goal during the 28th minute, and the Uzbeks managed making their first and last goal at the 67th minute with Armenians winning the match 3-1.
