Arsenal passed the exam on their debut in European competitions - in distant Armenia, they matched Alashkert and remained undefeated in the first match of the first round of qualification for the Conference League.
It was 1:1 in Yerevan before the rematch, which is in seven days at DG Arena in Podgorica.
Tonight, the people of Tiv were the first to take the lead - they took the lead in the 23rd minute with a goal by Julian Montenegro after the action started by Jasmin Muhović and Damir Kojašević.
The experienced Argentine received the ball seven or eight meters from the home team's goal and checked Ognjen Čančarević with his left foot.
Before and after the leadership of the Montenegrin representative, Alaškert controlled the game and had better chances, but Arsenal resisted...
It was like that until the 66th minute and the goal of the Russian Vitaly Ustaniv, who scored with a sharp shot from about 25 meters...
At that moment, probably everyone in Arsenal wanted it to stay 1:1 until the end, but later they saw a great chance that they can regret.
Irfan Šahman had it after an excellent action, but he shot straight at Čančarević, who deflected the ball into the corner...
Alaškter was the last to threaten, who in the 93rd minute had a goal through Evbejmar with five points, but Marko Čavor saved the guests from defeat.
The better of this two-match will meet with Hungarian Debrecen in the next round of qualification.
