Spectators: 6743 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1743, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Vlado Pantaleev kicked off to start the match. After 4 minutes, Grisha Yovchev mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Petlit and the CSKA Rebrevtsu players grew even worse after the yellow card. Grisha Yovchev hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. Albert Kachunski was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 5th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Borislav Shaphazov hit a great freekick 6 minutes into the match. Albert Kachunski made a great header on CSKA Rebrevtsu's corner, it was just that FC Petlit's Vasko Kutzev managed to reach the ball for a save. Vlado Pantaleev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Zanko Nenchovski sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Vasko Kutzev showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Encho Stoyanchov in the 13th minute of the match. In the 15th minute, Zanko Nenchovski got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal.

Vlado Pantaleev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the CSKA Rebrevtsu defense, Zanko Nenchovski kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Vencho Ashkov. The CSKA Rebrevtsu fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Vencho Ashkov should have stopped the shot. When Nikifor Batakliev fell near the penalty area in the 26th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored CSKA Rebrevtsu's protests and gave Nikifor Batakliev a yellow card for diving instead. In the 26th minute, Nikifor Batakliev hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Stanyo Cheshankov, 27 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ivelin Vukadinov in the 31st minute of play forced FC Petlit's goalkeeper Vasko Kutzev to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Vasko Kutzev stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ivelin Vukadinov's shot from short distance in the 32nd minute. Vihar Ninev hit a great freekick 32 minutes into the match. In the 37th minute Encho Stoyanchov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vasko Kutzev saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Zanko Nenchovskis short, quick shot in the 38thth minute got Vencho Ashkov to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. If Zanko Nenchovski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zanko Nenchovski received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Vencho Ashkov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ivelin Vukadinov to make the kick off. Encho Stoyanchov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vasko Kutzev having to interfere. Encho Stoyanchov recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Ivelin Vukadinov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Vasko Kutzev tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. After having played for 89 minutes, Ivelin Vukadinov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. CSKA Rebrevtsu's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ivelin Vukadinov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 93 minutes into the match, Encho Stoyanchov had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Vasko Kutzev. FC Petlit's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Encho Stoyanchov was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-1. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
