Gevorg Ghazaryan headed home four minutes from time as Armenia picked up their first FIFA World Cup qualifying Group 5 point at the fifth attempt.

Entertaining encounter

With the visitors defending in numbers, an entertaining game looked unlikely in Yerevan, but there was to be plenty of goalmouth action. Arman Karamyan tested Sergei Pareiko early on, but the Estonia keeper fielded his shot from 16 metres, while Joel Lindpere hit the post at the other end after a sharp counterattack before Henrikh Mkhitaryan beat Pareiko with the aid of a deflection in the 31st minute.

Wednesday rematch

The keeper denied Mkhitaryan again not long afterwards before Konstantin Vassiljev equalised, striking past Roman Berezovski from Martin Vunk's ball, and there was time for Aleksandr Dmitrijev to pass up another chance for Estonia before the break. Armenia recovered after half-time, but misses from Levon Pachayan and Karamyan preceded substitute Sergei Zenjov putting Estonia ahead on 69 minutes as he went one-on-one with Berezovski. Ghazaryan, however, had the last word, with the two sides meeting again in Tallinn on Wednesday.
