League Play-Off

Batuliya Stadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Nano Vúlov took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Nano Vúlov came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the Doljan 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 Nano Vúlov couldn't finish the play. The supporters of Doljan booed when A.F.C. Vranjastena was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tencho Lachev didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 8th minute, Nano Vúlov 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. Gospodin Fúrkov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A.F.C. Vranjastena's Ivan Pergelov got a good chance for a goal in the 13th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Krum Dzhunakov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Nano Vúlov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Krum Dzhunakov in the 21st minute of play forced Doljan's goalkeeper Presiyan Variyski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 25 minutes of play, Doljan's Nano Vúlov made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Veselin Torbov was left in no man's land by his defense there! Borimir Dzhikov struck a weak shot in the 29th minute. Veselin Torbov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Doljan. Veselin Torbov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nano Vúlov, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 33 played minutes A.F.C. Vranjastena got a freekick which was hit by Tencho Lachev. After having played for 41 minutes, Ivan Pergelov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. A.F.C. Vranjastena's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ivan Pergelov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Krum Dzhunakov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gospodin Fúrkov blasted a shot towards the goal in the 48th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Veselin Torbov having to make a save.

In the 61st minute, Milko Shindarski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Presiyan Variyski didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Krum Dzhunakov went, in the 64th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score.
