Armenia’s national football team faced a disappointing setback, suffering their second consecutive defeat in the Nations League, losing 2-0 to Cyprus at GSP Stadium in Nicosia. The match saw Cyprus take an early lead, with Leonidas Konomis scoring in the 19th minute. Andronikos Kakoullis extended the lead in the 31st minute, leaving Armenia struggling to respond.
Despite Cyprus being reduced to ten men later in the match, Armenia failed to capitalize on the advantage and could not find the back of the net. This loss marks a significant downturn for the team, which had opened its Nations League campaign with a victory over Latvia but has now dropped two successive matches, remaining on three points in Group C2.
Looking ahead, Armenia will seek redemption as they prepare to face Montenegro on October 5, where they will aim to avenge their earlier 3-2 defeat in Yerevan. The match will be crucial for Armenia to revive their hopes in the competition.
