League Play-Off

Batuliya Stadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Tzvetomir Zoev started the match with the kick off. If Krum Dzhunakov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ivan Pergelov 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. Krum Dzhunakov struck a weak shot in the 7th minute. Asparuh Semenov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for A.F.C. Vranjastena. 9 minutes into the match, A.F.C. Vranjastena's Krum Dzhunakov sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Asparuh Semenov narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Asparuh Semenov made a fantastic save in the 17th minute, when Ivan Pergelov sent off a good shot on target. 18 minutes into the game, A.F.C.

In the 25th minute, Ivan Pergelov left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The A.F.C. Vranjastena fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-0. FC Keleskioj's Asparuh Semenov played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Krum Dzhunakov in the 29th minute of play. Ivan Pergelov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Asparuh Semenov having to interfere. 38 minutes into the game, Belcho Chankov cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-1. Veselin Torbov was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tzvetomir Zoev in the 44th minute of play forced A.F.C. Vranjastena's goalkeeper Veselin Torbov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Krum Dzhunakov stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 54th minute, Ivan Pergelov 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. When Tzvetomir Zoev came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the FC Keleskioj 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 Tzvetomir Zoev couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, A.F.C. Vranjastena's Veselin Torbov got control of the ball when Belcho Chankov tried to sneak it across the goal line. 61 minutes into the game, Tencho Lachev was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. A.F.C. Vranjastena's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Keleskioj the free kick. Tencho Lachev hit a great freekick 61 minutes into the match. FC Keleskioj's Belcho Chankov got a good chance for a goal in the 62nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 65th minute, Ivan Pergelov managed to get in a good position for a shot. A.F.C. Vranjastena's supporters rose to their feet, but Ivan Pergelov was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Asparuh Semenov breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ivan Pergelov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC Keleskioj's goalkeeper Asparuh Semenov, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Krum Dzhunakov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Krum Dzhunakov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Asparuh Semenov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Krum Dzhunakov, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Krum Dzhunakov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Asparuh Semenov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Krum Dzhunakov recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 92nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 96 minutes had been played when some careless play by FC Keleskioj's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Tzvetan Chapalov was slow to take the kick. During this time A.F.C. Vranjastena's players had a chance to rest. A nice corner shot did that Tzvetan Chapalov got away a dangerous shot. Despite this Asparuh Semenov quite easily got ahold of the ball to make the save. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. A.F.C. Vranjastena fully deserved thier win.
