Noah earn a crucial point in Scotland and keep their chances for the Conference League playoffs

Yerevan’s Noah secured a valuable point in an away match of the Conference League’s 4th round against Scotland’s Aberdeen. The game at Pittodrie Stadium ended in a 1–1 draw.

The hosts opened the scoring late in the first half: Kevin Nisbet struck in the 45th minute. However, early in the second half, the Armenian side responded. Nardin Mulahusejnović equalized in the 52nd minute, scoring his fourth goal in the current league stage. The Bosnian forward has scored in every match of the tournament, and his goals remain the only ones for Noah in this phase.

In the second half, Sandro Perković’s team looked much more convincing: they pushed higher, pressed more actively, and created several dangerous chances near Aberdeen’s goal, but could not snatch the win.

After four rounds, Noah have 5 points and sit in 23rd place in the overall ranking, which grants a place in the playoffs. However, to secure qualification, the Armenian club must earn at least two more points in the remaining matches — at home against Legia (28th place) and away against Dynamo Kyiv (27th).

According to SofaScore, Noah’s best player was defender Nathaniel Saintini, who received a 7.5 rating — the highest among all players on the pitch.

Noah’s lineup for the match:

Fayulu – Sualeh, Saintini, Muradyan, Boakye – Thorarinsson (59, Oshima), Sangaré (86, Jakoliš), Eteki – Elder Ferreira (80, Ambartsumyan), Grgić (46, Mateus Ayaz) – Mulahusejnović

Perković: “The team reacted well, and the fans created a wonderful atmosphere in Aberdeen”
