Bilibio bags it
More than 10,000 fans saw the Premier League winners prevail 2-1 thanks to an 86th-minute thunderbolt from the Argentinian José André Bilibio. Aram Voskanyan had drawn Pyunik level with a 75th-minute header from Vardan Minasyan's centre.
Russian influence
MIKA, who had nine Russians in their line-up, had surprised them by taking the lead after only three minutes when Andrey Bulanov tapped in a David Grigoryan cross. But they struggled following the 65th-minute dismissal of Grigor Mkrtchyan.
