Ajibona, who previously scored against FC Gandzasar, justified his place in the starting lineup with a composed finish in the 35th minute, doubling FC Van’s lead after the hosts had taken an early advantage.
Pyunik responded with a goal before halftime to reduce the deficit to 2-1.
The second half saw both sides battle intensely, with Pyunik managing to level the score before FC Van sealed the win with a decisive third goal.
Ajibona’s clinical performance played a crucial role in securing the hard-fought victory, which keeps FC Van in the race for the top positions in the league standings.
