Vasilevtsi Stadion
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Stoyadin Kertev got the match started through his kick off. After having played for 4 minutes, Stoyadin Kertev managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Sredkovets's supporters crossed their fingers, but Stoyadin Kertev was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ignat Totzev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Omurtag Fezliyski made an important save on a dangerous shot by Goran Tzakovski in the 9th minute. When Ignat Totzev came up free with the goalie in the 16th minute, the Sredkovets fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Ignat Totzev couldn't finish the play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Goran Tzakovski got free with Omurtag Fezliyski in the 19th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Goran Tzakovski might have been able to make a better finish in the 21st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Omurtag Fezliyski. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Goran Tzakovski ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 22nd minute, Stancho Petrov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 26 minutes into the match, Boncho Konsulov notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Sredkovets's Omurtag Fezliyski. Omurtag Fezliyski was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 33 minutes into the match, CSKA Vasilevtsi's goal looked a bit too open when Stoyadin Kertev came free, but Dafin Margitov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to CSKA Vasilevtsi getting a freekick after 34 minutes play. Minko Voynovski hit a great ball. Dafin Margitov stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Ignat Totzev's shot from short distance in the 36th minute.

CSKA Vasilevtsi's Goran Tzakovski got a good chance for a goal in the 65th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Boncho Konsulov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 67th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 71 minutes into the match, Boncho Konsulov notched a goal, 2-0, to the right of Sredkovets's Omurtag Fezliyski. Omurtag Fezliyski was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.
