Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Kamen Deynov kicked off to start the match. Kamen Deynov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Branimir Bachorski tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 18th minute, Valcho Brúmchev 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. The crowd rose to their feet as Alek Zorovski kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Igor Lukarski. That made the score 1-0 in the 24 minute of play. Vancho Lyakov took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 34th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Branimir Bachorski. CSKA Voditsite's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Mikhailovtsi's Valcho Brúmchev got a good chance for a goal in the 41st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 42nd minute, Volodya Mazgalov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After a defensive mix-up in CSKA Voditsite's zone, Kamen Deynov stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Branimir Bachorski came out of the goal and Kamen Deynov tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Valcho Brúmchev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Alek Zorovski to make the kick off. When CSKA Voditsite's Alek Zorovski in the 53rd minute got a chance for a shot 53rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Mikhailovtsi's goalie prevented a goal. 55 minutes into the match, Alek Zorovski had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Igor Lukarski. Mikhailovtsi's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Alek Zorovski was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. In the 59th minute, Kliment Vetzev hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Adam Múnzov's late challenge caught a CSKA Voditsite's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Adam Múnzov hit a great ball. 67 minutes into the match, CSKA Voditsite's goalkeeper Branimir Bachorski had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Valcho Brúmchev. Valcho Brúmchev struck a weak shot in the 68th minute. Branimir Bachorski didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Mikhailovtsi. After having played for 70 minutes, Valcho Brúmchev managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Mikhailovtsi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Valcho Brúmchev was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.

Igor Lukarski showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Alek Zorovski, who was totally free with the ball in the 75th minute. After a rather tough play, Mikhailovtsi's Delcho Filchev got a free kick in the 78th minute. In the 79th minute of the match Stamen Shtúrbanov sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Igor Lukarski skillfully saved the ball.

The CSKA Voditsite fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-1. Mikhailovtsi's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
