Local Armenian paper 90 Minutes, in today’s issue, published some
interesting statistics on goalkeepers having played in the Armenian
national team. Why publish this information in today’s paper? Because
the goal scored by Turkey’s Halil Altintop at the 17th minute of the
recent Armenia-Turkey football match was the 100th goal Armenia’s
Roman Berezovski conceded.

Out of 58 matches, Berezovski had 13 shutouts (that is, he preventing
the opposing team from scoring; he had a "clean sheet"). By this
indicator, Berezovski is a unique record-holder among the goalkeepers
of the Armenian national team.

During 126 matches, the national team has had 9 goalkeepers in total,
who conceded 216 goals in total.

Armen Avagyan is the record-holder by the number of the goals conceded,
who conceded 7 goals in the away matches with Chile’s and Georgia’s
teams, each in 1997.
