Results and Summaries from Armenia's previous World Cup 2002 Qualifiers

Norway vs Armenia 0:0  Even though Norway was the favorite in the 5th qualifing group, Armenia dared to get out of Norway with a point.  From the first minutes Norway's talanted and skilled players pressed Armenians into their half making dangerous moments on front goals of Roman Berezovski, who deserved to be named the player of the game.  He stopped the shots and dangerous plays of talanted and experienced players such as Tore Andre Flo of Glazgow Rangers and the dramatic save when Olle Gunar Solskjaer of Manchester United was left alone with him.  During 90 minutes of attacking Norway couldn't accomplish anything despite having 9 100% realistic chances of scoring.  Even though Armenia didn't make any dangerous moments on front of Olsen, the coach of Armenian National Team Aram Parsadanyan was proud of the way his players played. "I couldn't ask for me from them," he said.

Armenia vs Ukraine 2:3  In last couple of years Armenia and Ukraine see each other very often.  It happened in Worl Cup 98 Qualifiers, it happened in Euro 2000 Qualifiers and it's happening in this year's qualifing games.  But this was the game that Armenia should have won.   From the beginning of the game Armenia started with attacks and soon they converted it into a goal.  In 17th minute midfielder Artour Petrosyan started his run from the middle and before getting into the penalty area he took a hard shot which sent the ball upper left hand corner of the goals. Armenia capitalized in minute 44.  Again, the same Artour Petrosyan took care of the 2 defenders and the goalie  after the counter attack and puts it into the roof of the net.  But after a minute a talanted forward of AC Milan and Ukraine cut the lead into half which gave them a mental advantage going into the  locker room.  10 minutes into the second half midfielder alexey Gusyn stole the ball from the defender and sent it past the goalie Roman Berezovski.  After four minutes it was Shevchenko's time again.  Forward of Tottenham and Ukraine Sergei Rebrov made a beautiful pass to his attacking partner who scored the game winning goal.  "I am dissapointed with the result and I have to make some adjustments going into the 3rd game of World Cup Qualifiers," said the head coach of Armenian National team Varuzhan Sukiasyan.

Belarus vs Armenia 2:1  Belarus rebounded from lat week's defeat by Poland to beat Armenia 2-1 in their World Cup Group Five qualifier on Wednesday.  Dynamo Kiev midfielder Alex Khatskevich gave Belarus a 1-0 lead in the 23rd minute when he headed home a Maxim Romashchenko's high cross.  Just 11 minutes later, Khatskevich won another battle in the iar and flicked a header to Nikolay Ryndyuk who beat keeper Harutyun Abrahamyan from close range.  Armenia's defender Felix Khodjoyan pulled one back in the 50th minute when he picked up the ball after a bad clearance by Belarus and fired home from the edge of the box to put the ball in the "Upper 90."  But Belarus withstood a lat Armenia rally to secure their second win from 3 matches while the visitors slumped to their second staraight loss afrter holding Norway to a 0-0 draw in their opener qualifier last month.

Wales vs Armenia 2:2  This was the game that would have inspired both teams if they win.  But it didn't happen.  The whole game started the way it ended.  Both teams played a high-tempo soccer.  Armenians struck first in 32nd minute when Andery Movsesyan stole the ball from his own half and fed Armen Shahgeldyan who took 4 defenders to the penalty area at the same time and then took a stunning shot.  Artak Minasyan hammered the ball in to make sure it crossed the line.  Armenia leads 1:0.  But they couldn't hold on to their lead as John Hartson drilled a 20-yarder into the goal in minute 40.  He, then, headed home his second to give a lead to Welsh team in minute 49.  But they knew that Armenians would struck again.  And it happened as it was predicted.  In minute 66 Andrey Movsesyan saw an opening in Welsh half and ran through the gap and unleashed a stunning 25-yarder into the roof of the net to tie the game at 2 apiece.  The goal inspired Armenians to go for more and despite putting a lot of effort into it they couldn't score the winner.  For more information Armenian went a man shot in minute 77 when Albert Sarkisyan of Lokomotiv Moskow and Armenia was out of the field for his second bookable offence.  After the game the Welsh coach Mark Hughes said: "We had the chance to win this game but we didn't and I think Armenia got lucky when we scored our second goal and set back to let them to take advantage of the situation."  Well, he appeard to be a moron as Armenia had a better chances to win the game and had a better team to do it.  They were the ones who got lucky as the game was only 90 minutes long not 95.

Poland vs Armenia 4:0  Armenia entered this game as an underdog.  As the game started that was obvious  that Armenia, without its 7 usual starters, is going to be in trouble.  Poland scored four unanswered goals to a 10 men Armenian team and remains the team-to-beat in the group.  Twins Michal and Marcin Zewlakow scored a goal each to give two goals in Poland's account.  His seventh goal in 8 international games scored the Nigerian-born striker Emanuel Olisadebe.  His first goal for Poland National Team scored Bartosz Karwan after playmaker Piotr Swierczewski send the ball to him from the free kick.  This gave Poland 3 more points and its 4 win in 5 matches.  Poland remains on the top of the group with 13 points.  Armenia still lies on the bottom of the group with 2 points with group favorite Norway.

Armenia vs Belarus 0:0  Now this was the game that Armenia should have made three points available for himself.  This season, Armenia performed exceptionally great with the teams that he should had lost but performed bad against the teams that they should have won.  Both teams wasted several scoring opportunities as the match went on.  Both teams had their ups and downs as the match went on.  After the game Belarus coach said,"You have got to give credit to Armenians and especially to their goalkeeper who had made some fine and acrobatic saves along the way."  Armenians' coach Varuzhan Sukiasyan said, "Compared to our other opponents this probably was our best chance to win and we couldn't do it even though we had some chances to score and get out of this game with 3 points.  Now we have to be satisified with what we have got and try to concentrate on our upcoming games.
