Football (UEFA Champions League)

Pyunik again lost to CSKA in the UEFA Champions League, this time 0-1.

FC Pyunic lost its chances for entering the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League competition after it suffered a 1-0 from Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia in the second leg match of the second qualifying round played on Wednesday August 6 in Sofia at Balgarska Armia stadium.

After 0-2 defeat in Yerevan Pyunic must have beaten CSKA with the difference of at least two goals in an away return match to be able to continue its way to the third round.

Although dominating control of the match, Pyunic failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities.

The defeat ended hopes of a long-expected Armenian-Turkish match which would have been on the schedule had Pyunic won on aggregate.
