Mursatlii Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Trifon Buhov took the kick off in the first half of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Gyuro Milushev managed to get in a good position for a shot. Yakhinovo's supporters rose to their feet, but Gyuro Milushev was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Darin Geneshki breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Yakhinovo's Stancho Balchev in the 4th minute got a chance for a shot 4th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye CSKA Mursatlii's goalie prevented a goal. Chavdar Barbutski hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match.

After having played for 34 minutes, Trifon Buhov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.
