Match Report
Ararat-Armenia edged past Universitatea Craiova 1–0 in their UEFA Europa League play-off tie thanks to a dramatic late winner, despite the Romanian side controlling much of the contest. Craiova enjoyed 54% possession and registered three corner kicks to none for the hosts, yet managed only two shots on target across the entire match, underlining their inability to convert dominance into clear-cut chances.
The game remained goalless at half-time and appeared to be heading toward extra time when the tie exploded into life in stoppage time. Sandro Lima missed two penalties in quick succession before coolly converting at the third attempt in the 90+8th minute to seal a stunning victory for Ararat-Armenia. Yellow cards for Nicușor Bancu, Bruno Wilson, Steven Nsimba, and Samuel Teles reflected the growing tension during the closing stages.
Our pre-match AI model had rated a Craiova win as the most likely outcome at 39%, a call that ultimately proved wide of the mark. Ararat-Armenia advance on the back of one of the most remarkable finishes of the European qualifying rounds.
