Dominant Display: FC Urartu Stuns Shirak with a 5-0 Victory

In a commanding performance that showcased their offensive prowess, FC Urartu dismantled Shirak with a decisive 5-0 victory at Urartu Stadium on October 24, 2025. If I could take a moment to eat some humble pie from my pre-match musings about a tight contest, it seems I was dead wrong-FC Urartu was in no mood for a narrow win today.

From the opening whistle, FC Urartu established their intent, and it took just twelve minutes for the home side to break the deadlock. Bruno Michel, whose scintillating form has been the talk of the league, found the net early, sending a clear message to Shirak. The tone was set, and it was one that the visitors were unable to counter.

Aghasaryan Narek doubled the lead just before half-time, scoring in the 36th minute to further tilt the match in Urartu's favor. Not content with a two-goal cushion, FC Urartu added a third just six minutes later through Piloyan Erik, ensuring that Shirak would head into the lockers at the break already looking for answers.

The second half saw more of the same relentless attack from FC Urartu. It was Bruno Michel again who struck in the 62nd minute, netting his second of the day to make it 4-0. By then, it was clear that this match was more than just a battle for points; it was a showcase of FC Urartu's growing ambition as they climbed to fourth place in the Armenian Premier League standings with 18 points from ten matches.

The home crowd erupted once again in the 79th minute, albeit with an unnamed player adding the final touch to an already overwhelming scoreline, sealing Shirak's fate with a bitter taste. With this result, FC Urartu continued their upward trajectory following a series of draws in their previous matches.

For Shirak, the situation has become dire, with the team now firmly stationed in eighth place with only six points from ten games. After such a dismal outing, questions will undoubtedly arise about their ability to recover from this heavy defeat. They have now endured six losses this season, and the uphill battle to regain some semblance of form becomes ever steeper.

Looking ahead, the stakes are clear. FC Urartu will be eager to maintain this momentum as they vie for a higher league position and potential title contention, with Bruno Michel continuing to be a focal point of their attack. Meanwhile, for Shirak, the time for reflection is over; they will need to quickly regroup and find a way to begin collecting points or risk being left behind in a league that grows more competitive by the week. The next match could be the turning point-or another chapter in a season they would rather forget.
