Spectators: 7528 (Terracing: 5647, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Nasko Glavov got the match started through his kick off. Rostislav Stefanovski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 5th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vlado Sholeykov having to interfere. Veterinary-Team's Vlado Sholeykov played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rostislav Stefanovski in the 7th minute of play. Slavi Spirov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nasko Glavov charged in rather forcefully in the 10th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nasko Glavov the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 10 played minutes Veterinary-Team got a freekick which was hit by Nasko Glavov. Tzvetomir Kraynev hit a great freekick 15 minutes into the match. After 16 played minutes, Veterinary-Team's Tzeno Yanovski shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Branimir Karadachki came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Veterinary-Team reached it. If Slavi Spirov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 36 minutes into the match, Elenko Gruychev had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Vlado Sholeykov. Veterinary-Team's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Elenko Gruychev was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Velko Pashkulev charged in rather forcefully in the 43rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Velko Pashkulev the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Veterinary-Team's Velko Pashkulev got a free kick in the 43rd minute.

Vlado Sholeykov made an important save on a dangerous shot by Elenko Gruychev in the 47th minute.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Rostislav Stefanovski made a kick off.

Tzvetomir Kraynev hit a great freekick 51 minutes into the match. 55 minutes into the match, Veterinary-Team's goal looked a bit too open when Rostislav Stefanovski came free, but Vlado Sholeykov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 57th match minute, Спартак Пловдив was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Tzvetomir Kraynev to maneuver through the defense. Slavi Spirov's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Branimir Karadachki read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 63rd minute of play.

Nasko Glavov was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 87th minute. Veterinary-Team's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 93 minutes into the match, Спартак Пловдив's goal looked a bit too open when Nasko Glavov came free, but Branimir Karadachki reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
