Andorra 0-3 Armenia
Vardan Minasyan's side retain a theoretical chance of reaching UEFA
EURO 2012 following a comfortable win in the Pyrenees.
Armenia kept up the pressure on the top three in UEFA EURO 2012
qualifying Group B following a comfortable away win against back
markers Andorra.
Jesús Álvarez's side have yet to pick up a point in the section,
but failed to make chances count against Vardan Minasyan's Armenia,
who will look to keep the momentum going as they take on Slovakia
in Zilina on Tuesday. Marcos Pizzelli put Armenia ahead ten minutes
before the break, with a Gevorg Ghazaryan strike and a late Henrik
Mkhitaryan penalty underlining the visitors' dominance.
Andorra held their own until the 35th minute, when Brazilian-born
Pizzelli blasted past Jose Antonio Gomes in the home side's goal.
Fernando Silva might have replied, but could not get a head to an
inviting Marc Pujol cross.
It took another half an hour after the interval for Armenia to break
through again, with Artur Sarkisov putting in a great cross for
Ghazaryan to dispatch in style. Andorra had an opportunity to reduce
the arrears once more, but Cristian Martínez fired just wide from a
lively counterattack.
A minute into added time, Andorra captain Ildefons Lima felled Karlen
Lazarian in the Armenia box to receive a straight red card, with
Mkhitaryan stepping up to make it 3-0 from the spot.
