After some fancy dribbling in the 9th minute, Iliyan Gyonov managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Anastas Kostakiev made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Iliyan Gyonov in the 54th minute of play. The audience was convinced that Vesko Velev's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Anastas Kostakiev was relentless in the 56th minute of the game. Ливърпул ФК's defense didn't have a chance, in the 58th minute, when Dragolyub Ruevski scored to the left of an out of position Encho Kiselinchev, making the score, 1-3. Ливърпул ФК's Iliyan Gyonov suffered a sprained foot after 62 minutes and couldn't finish the game.

In the 83rd match minute, Brestica was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Stoimen Zapryanov to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Vesko Velev in the 85th minute of play forced Brestica's goalkeeper Anastas Kostakiev to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Vesko Velev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 95th minute, Nesho Borisov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The Brestica supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match.
