Tera, whose only title to date with the Ararat is the 2024 Armenian Cup, was on the bench as the visitors clawed back from a 2-0 deficit to stand a game away from winning its first league championship since 2020.
The league-leaders thought they had spurned their chance to do so when they went 2-0 down after 58 minutes, thanks to two goals from Narek Hovhannisyan and Mark Avetisyan.
The visitors would, however, conjure up a fight-back, halving the deficit two minutes after the hour mark through Arayik Eloyan, before turning the tables with two goals in nine minutes.
Portuguese defender Joao Queiros was first to equalise in the 72nd minute, before his compatriot Hugo Oliveira converted a penalty with seven minutes remaining to leave Ararat in control of their destiny.
As it stands, Ararat will wrap up the league triumph with a win on the final matchweek scheduled for Wednesday, 27 May, or could have the job done earlier, should their only challenger - Noah FC - stumble in one of their two matches in hand.
Meanwhile in Sweden, the Kenyan duo of Andreas Omondi and Paul Osama were involved for their Enköpings SK side as they beat Sollentuna 1-0 at the Enavallen C-plan Stadium.
Omondi, having played 68 minutes of the team’s 3-0 win over Jarfalla last week, was here deployed for 86 minutes, while Osama marked his steady rise in the side after coming on as a substitute in the 77th minute, to play for the final 14 minutes.
His increased involvement comes in the third-tier club comes days after he made his team full debut in a three-minute cameo against Jarfalla on Wednesday, 13 May.
In Zambia, the Kenyan pair of Moses Shumah and Emmanuel Osoro was missing in action as Zambian side secured a 1-0 victory over Green Eagles at the Independence Stadium.
The two were forwards were completely left out of Oswald Mutapa’s squad, which needed a 10th minute strike from Ismael Ankobo to seal their 22nd win of the season.
Shumah, who leads the league goal-scoring charts this season with 20 goals, was missing a game for the second time in a row, having been benched in Dynamo’s 2-2 draw against Mutondo Stars last week.
As for Osoro, his absence came after his substitute appearance in the second half of that game.
Elsewhere in Poland, Harambee Stars left back Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma was again missing from the lineup as Raków Częstochowa beat Piast Gliwice on the road at Stadion Miejski.
Ouma, who on 8 May made a big step up in his recovery from an Achilles tendon rupture by being named on the Raków bench, was here missing altogether, this after also sitting out the last game against Jagiellonia on 13 May.
Wrapping up things in Denmark, Harambee Stars defender Daniel Anyembe played the full 90 minutes as his Viborg FF side were subjected to a 6-2 beating by new league champions Aarhus at the New Vejlby Stadium.
The 27-year-old was booked in the 54th minute, as the Superliga season drew to a close.
