League of Nations. The Ukraine national team defeated Armenia's team in Yerevan Note: There seems to be a historical or contextual error as the phrase "Ліга націй" typically refers to the League of Nations, an organization that existed from 1920 to 1946 and is not commonly used in contemporary sports reporting. If this was meant to refer to a different entity such as UEFA Nations League, please clarify or correct the source text accordingly. However, based on the instruction, I've provided a direct translation.
