Ararat-Armenia players are happy to have started in the Europa League play-off with a win. Last night Vardan Minasyan’s men beat Dudelange (Luxembourg) 2-1 with a late winner.
A week later the Armenian team will travel to Luxembourg and, if the second leg ends in a win too, reach the group stage.

I am thankful to the fans who supported us so much. In the first half, we attacked well, but we grew a bit tired in the second and conceded a goal. I congratulate the boys, they demonstrated strong will and scored another. Of course, I’m happy, but this is just the first leg and everything will be decided next week.

The mood in the team is great, but we can’t lose focus, because a 2-1 score is dangerous. We need to keep fighting to reach the group stage. This is not only ours, but also the whole nation’s dream, and we intend to realize it.

It was a very hard-fought win. Our will and the fans’ support helped us. It’s a pity we conceded a goal, but we created more chances and deserved to win.
