Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The audience was convinced that Vasko Vakúvchiev's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Emiliyan Karasimeonov was relentless in the 6th minute of the game.

After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Nasko Pramatarov managed to get in a good position for a shot.
