(Reuters) - Armenia struck two goals inside the final four minutes for a 3-2 victory over Romania in Yerevan on Wednesday to make it three wins out of three and take top spot in European World Cup qualifying Group J.
The game was a throwback to pre-COVID-19 days with a loud crowd of more than 4,000 allowed into the Republican Stadium and they celebrated wildly at the final whistle of a dramatic win for Armenia, who have never qualified for a major tournament.
