Match Recap

Georgiy Harutyunyan and Artur Gharibyan did the damage as Armenia beat Latvia 2-0 in UEFA Nations League play, turning a tight opening into a comfortable evening at home. Harutyunyan broke the deadlock in the 31st minute, and his strike carries extra weight: it's enough to put him among the league's top ten scorers, level with names chasing Erling Haaland, who currently tops the charts on two goals. Latvia held on through halftime looking for a way back, but Gharibyan settled it in the 75th minute, doubling Armenia's lead and putting the result out of reach. With both sides still searching for their first points on the board, this was as much about momentum as the scoreline, and Armenia grabbed it with two well-taken finishes rather than a smash-and-grab. Latvia never found an answer once Gharibyan struck. Press play to see Harutyunyan's opener and the 75th-minute finish that sealed it, then decide for yourself which goal was the better strike.
