YEREVAN, Armenia (Interstat) — Substitute Barnabás Varga scored in the 33rd minute to lift Hungary to a 1-0 victory over Armenia in a World Cup qualifying match on Thursday. Varga finished a chance created by fellow substitute András Schafer at a packed Vazgen Sargsyan anvan Hanrapetakan Marzadasht. The lone goal held up as Hungary opened its qualifying campaign with a win, defying a pregame projection that forecast a higher-scoring affair. Armenia’s Grant Ranos received a yellow card in the 52nd minute, while Schafer was also booked late for Hungary. The loss marked a disappointing start to the qualifying tournament for the home side.
