Match report
Cyprus beat Armenia 2-0 at GSP Stadium after two first-half goals settled it. Leonidas Konomis opened the scoring in the 19th minute and Andronikos Kakoullis added the second on 31 minutes.
Konomis gave Cyprus the lead in the 19th minute, and Kakoullis made it 2-0 on 31 minutes from an assist by Ioannis Pittas. Armenia went in two goals down at half-time.
Armenia made a change at the interval, sending on Narek Grigoryan for Edgar Sevikyan, before a VAR check on 51 minutes confirmed a card upgrade for Kostas Pileas and he was sent off on 52 minutes. Cyprus then replaced Kakoullis with Giorgos Malekkidis on 54 minutes, while Armenia made two changes on 63 minutes and Cyprus made two on 68 minutes, then Cyprus made two more on 84 minutes. The visitors had 67% of the ball, 610 passes and 11 corners to Cyprus's 1, but they managed only 5 shots on target from 16 attempts. Cyprus had 8 shots, 4 on target, 33% possession and 309 passes, and made their lead hold with 3 saves despite playing the second half with 10 men.
Armenia's Edgar Sevikyan and Artem Bandikyan were booked in the 26th and 37th minutes. Cyprus had Kostas Pileas sent off on 52 minutes after the VAR review.
