Armenian club Noah have secured a place in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.
In the second leg, Sandro Perković’s side defeated Moldovan club Zimbru 2–1. Noah won the tie 3–2 on aggregate to continue their European campaign.
Gor Manvelyan and Gustavo Sangaré scored for the Armenian side, with Marin Jakoliš and Hélder Ferreira providing the assists. Jonatas scored Zimbru’s only goal of the second leg.
The match in Abovyan was largely controlled by Noah, although the closing stages proved tense as the Moldovan side created several dangerous chances near the hosts’ goal.
In the third qualifying round, Noah will face the winner of the tie between Sion and BATE. The first leg between the two teams ended in a 1–1 draw.
Noah’s line-up: Dani Figueira — Hovhannes Hambardzumyan (Boakye, 64), Stone Mambo, Nathanaël Saintini, David Sualehe — Gustavo Sangaré, Gor Manvelyan (Costache, 76), Takuto Oshima (Hamoyan, 64) — Hélder Ferreira (Oddei, 90+3), Marin Jakoliš — Mario González (Lazetić, 76).
