An unexpectedly hard shot by Zachary Brodzki in the 3rd minute of play forced FC Chukurite's goalkeeper Bayan Tzúrvenkov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 5 minutes, Trayan Rezashki mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Chukurite and the Red Devils FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Trayan Rezashki hit a great freekick 5 minutes into the match. If Vangel Zarkov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 9th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Velizar Ralchevski struck a weak shot in the 11th minute. Bayan Tzúrvenkov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Red Devils FC. 15 minutes in the game, Lilko Borov fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Asen Tatarev having to interfere. Bayan Tzúrvenkov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Velizar Ralchevski, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. With an all-out effort, FC Chukurite's Asen Tatarev threw himself towards the right post 30 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Lilko Borov, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Lilko Borov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Velizar Ralchevski scored 0-4 in the 39th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Bayan Tzúrvenkov, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Asen Tatarev acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 45th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Trayan Manukov. After the first half Red Devils FC were leading 0-4. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Red Devils FC's Velizar Ralchevski got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Asen Tatarev made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Vitan Dzhoganov in the 60th minute of play. After 62 minutes of play, FC Chukurite's Lilko Borov made it 1-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Asen Tatarev was left in no man's land by his defense there! 2-4 became the score in the 66th minute when Lilko Borov elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. After a defensive mix-up in Red Devils FC's zone, Lilko Borov stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Asen Tatarev came out of the goal and Lilko Borov tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When the match had gone on for 78 minutes, Zachary Brodzki took a quick shot and it went in 2-5 without a chance for Bayan Tzúrvenkov to make any attempt to save it. After some fancy dribbling in the 82nd minute, Velizar Ralchevski managed to get in a good position for a shot. Red Devils FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Velizar Ralchevski was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bayan Tzúrvenkov breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Zachary Brodzki received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Bayan Tzúrvenkov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Velizar Ralchevski recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. In the 88th minute Vancho Yotzov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bayan Tzúrvenkov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After having played for 89 minutes, Zachary Brodzki managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Red Devils FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Zachary Brodzki was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Zachary Brodzki blasted a shot towards the goal in the 91st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Bayan Tzúrvenkov having to make a save. Vancho Yotzov's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 96thth minute, Bayan Tzúrvenkov skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Red Devils FC's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
