A week ago, the Yerevan football club lost to the Czech team (0-4) on home turf, while yesterday, Pyunik lost to Plze\u0148 in an away game that ended with a score of 5-1.<\/p>\n<p>With the match seemingly headed towards the break goalless, Plze\u0148 scored three goals in quick succession at the end of the first half to put the tie beyond their visitors&#8217; reach. Edgar Malakyan pulled one back for Vardan Minasyan&#8217;s side but a second of the night for Daniel Kol\u00e1\u0159 and a stoppage time strike from V\u00e1clav Pila\u0159 completed a memorable night for the competition debutants, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uefa.com\/uefachampionsleague\/season=2012\/matches\/round=2000260\/match=2007510\/postmatch\/report\/index.html#plzen+five+past+pyunik\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">UEFA reports<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Marek Bako\u0161, who scored twice in Yerevan a week ago, opened the scoring for the hosts seven minutes before the break after great build-up play by Franti\u0161ek Rajtoral. Four minutes later Bako\u0161 grabbed his and Plze\u0148&#8217;s second of the night, slotting past Karen Israelyan after a wonderful run from Mari\u00e1n \u010ci\u0161ovsk\u00fd. Kol\u00e1\u0159 then capped a sensational end to the half for the Czech side, latching onto Milan Petr\u017eela&#8217;s centre to score from close range.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the break the visitors responded through Malakyan, but in truth the tie was over. Kol\u00e1\u0159&#8217;s 57th-minute effort and Pila\u0159&#8217;s strike in second-half stoppage time sealed an emphatic victory for Pavel Vrba&#8217;s side who will face either Rosenborg BK or Iceland&#8217;s Breidablik in the third qualifying round with the Norweigan side 5-0 up from the first leg.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FC Pyunik once again suffered a major defeat  in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":114745,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[10940,29991,12538,12316],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114799"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
