Chicago Fire Forward Yura Movsisyan and midfielder/defender Nicolas Hasler each played featuring roles in Tuesday's UEFA Nations League action for home nations Armenia and Liechtenstein, respectively.


Movsisyan and Armenia got the morning off to a high-scoring start, emphatically taking down League D Group 4 leaders Macedonia 4-0 at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan, Armenia. Movsisyan got his second straight start since his return to the Armenian National Team, and scored the side's second goal on a low feed from Arsenal midfielder and countryman Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the 67th minute.

The goal was Movsisyan's first for the country since netting on Oct. 15, 2013 in a World Cup Qualifier against Italy. Following the day's matches, Armenia rests level with Gibraltar on six points in second place the  League D's Group 4.


Elsewhere, Hasler was yet again included in the Liechtenstein starting XI for the side's trip to take on Gibraltar at Victoria Stadium.

Despite getting an early lead through midfielder Dennis Slanovic, Liechtenstein ultimately fell to the hosts 2-1 after surrendering a pair of second half goals. Liechtenstein will now look to move up from their fourth position in League D's Group 4 when UEFA Nations League play resumes in November.
