Henrikh Mkhitaryan scores as he helps Armenia to a 2-0 win over Kazakhstan

Armenia registered their second win in Group E as second-half goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Aras Ozbiliz in Yerevan secured them a 2-0 win against 10-man Kazakhstan.

Manchester United forward Mkhitaryan, who saw a first-half shot hit a post, broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute and Ozbiliz added a second two minutes later.

The home team kept pressing the opponents in their own half of the field, but Kazakhstan maintained a clean sheet and even created one or two decent chances.

Kazakhstan’s Sergiy Malyi received his second yellow on the 64th minute. It took only 9 minutes for Armenia to get the upper hand when Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored.

Just two minutes later, Aras Oezbiliz doubled the score for Armenia, which picked up its second win in the group and is now in fourth place with six points behind Poland, Montenegro and Denmark.

Armenia’s next game will be against Montenegro in Podgorica on June 10.
