Armenia U-21 football team started  their Euro 2021 qualifying campaign with a defeat from Ireland on Friday played in Dublin. The only goal was scored  by Tottenham's Troy Parrott on the 17th minute.

Armenia did provide a reminder of their threat in the 53rd minute though, as Rudik Mkrtchyan drove forward on the counter before shooting narrowly wide from the edge of the area.

Armenia’s next opponent is Island. The match will be played on September  9 in Reykjavík.
