Soccer: Armenia Beats Andorra 4-0 for 2nd Successive Win

YEREVAN (Reuters)—Armenia scored three times in the first half to power to a 4-0 win over Andorra on Tuesday for the second victory of their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.

The Armenian team celebrates after defeating Slovakia.

Gevorg Chazaryan, Henrik Mkhitaryan, and Yura Movsisyan put the home side 3-0 up after 33 minutes and Brazilian-born Marcos Pizzelli added a fourth shortly after the break as the Armenians followed Friday’s 3-1 victory over Slovakia with another win.

Chazaryan, Mkhitaryan, and Movsisyan were also on target against the Slovaks.

Armenia has now won two of their opening four games, matching the total victories in their entire Euro 2008 qualifying campaign when they came second to last in their group.

They have seven points which moves them top of Group B at least for a few hours, a point ahead of Slovakia, Ireland, and Russia, who all play later on Tuesday.

Andorra, who had captain Ildenos Lima back in the starting line-up after suspension, rarely threatened Armenia keeper Roman Berezovsky, and they remain rooted to the bottom of the group with no points after four games.
