YEREVAN (Interstat) — Noah defeated Gandzasar 4-1 on Wednesday in an Armenian First League match at Junior Sports Stadium, extending its perfect record in the competition to four wins and no losses.

Nardin Mulahusejnović scored twice in the second half, first in the 74th minute and again in the 82nd minute, putting the visitors ahead 4-0. Gandzasar pulled one back in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time when Gustavo Sangaré found the net.

Noah’s dominance was evident throughout the match. The team controlled possession and created numerous chances, while Gandzasar struggled to mount consistent attacks until the late consolation goal.

The win improved Noah’s record in the First League to 4-0-0. Across all competitions this season, Noah stands at 23 wins, 12 losses and 13 draws. Gandzasar fell to 1-1-1 in league play and 7-12-11 overall.

The result continued Noah’s recent mastery of Gandzasar. The teams met twice previously this season, with Noah winning 3-0 on April 10 at Gandzasar and 4-1 on Aug. 17, 2025, at home.

Noah entered Wednesday’s match on the heels of a series of mixed results. The team played Pyunik to a 1-1 draw on Sunday, lost 2-0 at Ararat-Armenia on Saturday and drew 0-0 with Ararat-Armenia FA on April 29. Prior to that, Noah recorded a 1-1 draw at Alashkert, a 2-0 win over Van, a 1-0 victory against Ararat-Armenia FA and a 3-0 win over Gandzasar on April 10.

The visiting side’s scoring output Wednesday was led by Mulahusejnović, who notched his second and third goals of the season in league play. Vieira’s goal was his first in the competition, and Avanesyan also opened his league account.

Noah’s next match is Thursday, May 14, at Urartu in the Armenian Cup. The team then hosts Ararat on Tuesday, May 19, in the First League and visits Pyunik on Saturday, May 23.

Gandzasar will look to rebound in its next league fixture, though that date was not immediately available.
