The small margins put BKMA out
Out, 2‑3 to Gandzasar, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Serhiy Bolbat, 33, rolls back the years — 8.17
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.17 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Tempers go at BKMA
Serhiy Bolbat was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

$330.0K for Patvakan Avetisyan, and BKMA supporters approve
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Patvakan Avetisyan from Gandzasar for $330.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

The manager makes an example of Daniel Chávez
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Patvakan Avetisyan signs for BKMA to fix the gap everybody could see
There is a particular relief in a club addressing the thing its own crowd has been shouting about. Patvakan Avetisyan arrives for exactly that job, and now he has to do it.

Ignacio Zabal lets one through his hands
A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.

Still no ink between BKMA and Roman Babaev
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at BKMA, another week without a signature from Roman Babaev.
