Soccer: Shirak, Gandzasar qualify for next Europa League round

Gyumri's Shirak and Kapan's Gandzasar on Thursday got the results they needed to stay in the competition as they hosted their rivals in the second-leg matches of the first qualifying round in Europa League, the UEFA's second most prestigious club-level tournament.

In Gyumri the local side held Montenegro's Rudar to a 1-1 draw, progressing to the next stage of the tournament due to a 1-0 away win a week before.

Kapan's Gandzasar, who suffered an away defeat 1-3 against Streymur from the Faroe Islands last week, managed to score two goals in the Yerevan encounter to secure a spot in the next round.

Meanwhile, Pyunik failed to make progress despite a 2-1 away win against Zeta (Montenegro). The Yerevan club suffered a 0-3 defeat at home a week earlier.
