Match report
Cyprus and Armenia drew 1-1 in Yerevan, with Iasonas Pikis putting the visitors ahead in the ninth minute before Artur Gharibyan levelled after the break.
Cyprus struck first on 9 minutes when Pikis, set up by Ioannis Pittas, made it 1-0. Armenia went in 1-0 down at half-time.
Armenia equalised in the 58th minute through Artur Gharibyan, assisted by Artur Serobyan, to make it 1-1. Cyprus then made a change on 63 minutes, sending on Giannis Kosti for Marcus Edwards, while Armenia responded with two changes on 77 minutes and another two on 86 minutes as they tried to find a winner. Cyprus also made two late substitutions in stoppage time, but neither side found a second goal.
Armenia had 69% of the possession and 561 passes to Cyprus's 260, and they also had more shots, 26-10, shots on target, 7-2, corners, 11-4, and saves, 1-6. Cyprus, though, finished with a higher xG, 2.1 to 1.74, and Armenia's territorial advantage did not bring a winner.
Cyprus were booked twice, with Loizos Loizou cautioned in the 44th minute and Pikis in the 50th. Armenia had three yellow cards, for Georgiy Harutyunyan on 60 minutes, Narek Grigoryan on 72 minutes and Edgar Sevikyan on 81 minutes.
