 Artik Yedigaryan handed the edge to Alashkert over Ħamrun Spartans after eking out a 1-0 win in their UEFA Conference League first leg tie in Yerevan on Thursday.

However, the Spartans are well into this tie, particularly after their encouraging performance in the second half which saw them hold more possession than the home side and had they been more precise in their distribution of the ball in the final third they could have returned home with a positive result.

But no doubt, Nisevic has a lot of positives to take for next week’s second leg as the Spartans showed that they are capable of upsetting their more-quoted opponents and progress to the next round.

Ħamrun Spartans coach Branko Nisevic handed a debut to five new signings as defenders Ryan Camenzuli and Ognjen Bjelicic, midfielder Ederson and forwards Elvis Mashike and Jonny were all handed a berth in the starting formation.
