UEFA U19 Qualifier: Romania 1-0 Armenia
Sunday, 14 October 2012
UEFA European Under-19 Championship Qualifying Round
Romania 1-0 Armenia
Sunday, 14th October 2012, kick-off 3pm
New Douglas Park, Hamilton
Buia 82'
A late goal from forward Darius Buia was enough to secure a Romania
victory over a determined Armenian side, in their final Group Nine
UEFA European Under-19 Qualifying Round match at New Douglas Park this
afternoon.
Buia, playing as part of a three-man attack for the Romanians, headed
home substitute Denis Lemac's cross in the 82nd minute.
Armenia, who lost both of their previous games by 4-0 scorelines,
started the match positively, hoping to end their qualification group
matches on a high.
Armenian's Gevorg Harutyunyan was the busier of the two goalkeepers,
with all of the early shots falling to Romania. Claudiu Bumba had two
early chances, hitting the bar with a looping right-foot strike after
just six minutes, whilst a second effort five minutes later flew
harmlessly over the Armenian goal.
Despite enjoying the majority of possession, the Romanians could not
capitalise; attacking midfielder Rares Enceanu had two chances on
goal, without troubling the goalkeeper. Wide players Steliano Filip
and Bumba were the busier of the forward line, hoping to wear down the
Armenian full-backs Artur Petrosyan and Davit Levonyan, without joy.
The second half saw Armenia enjoy more possession, and create a few
chances of their own. Their best effort came after 73 minutes, and
fell to their most impressive player on the day, Aghvan Papikyan.
After a defence-splitting pass, the forward found himself bearing down
on the Romanian goal, however his shot sailed high and wide.
This was to prove crucial, as just nine minutes later, Romania were
finally able to wear down the Armenian defence to score the only goal
of the game.
