22:07 31.05.2014
The Armenian national team lost 1-3 to Algeria in a friendly held in
Syon, Switzerland.
All of Algeria’s goals came in the first half, defender Essaid
Belkalem putting them in front early with a scrappy close-range
finish.
Nabil Ghilas then doubled the advantage before Islam Slimani
effectively made sure of victory with Algeria’s third.
Armenia, 33rd in the FIFA rankings compared to Algeria’s 25, pulled
one back within a minute of the re-start when halftime substitute
Artur Sarkisov burst clear and beat Mohamed Lamine Zemmamouche with a
low shot.
