Armenia Futsal Team Let Victory Slip Away Against Hungary After Conceding Three Second-Half Goals

The Armenian national futsal team suffered a disappointing defeat against Hungary in their opening match of the 2028 FIFA Futsal World Cup qualifiers. The home encounter, played in Yerevan on October 20, ended in a 3-2 victory for the visitors.

Armenia delivered a confident performance in the first half, controlling the game and going into the break with a narrow 1-0 lead.

However, the situation changed dramatically after halftime. A poor start to the second half proved decisive, as Armenia conceded three consecutive goals in a short period, allowing Hungary not only to equalize but also to take the lead.
