Khana
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Belcho Vezirev kicked off to start the match. Vute Karlov charged in rather forcefully in the 2nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Vute Karlov the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Vute Karlov hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. If Belcho Vezirev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 11 played minutes Khana got a freekick which was hit by Ruslan Rozov. An unexpectedly hard shot by Tomislav Mastikov in the 16th minute of play forced Khana's goalkeeper Miro Zamfirov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 19 minutes, Ruslan Rozov mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Khana and the 1. ФК Зелена ливада players grew even worse after the yellow card. Ruslan Rozov hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match. 28 minutes into the match, Khana's goal looked a bit too open when Belcho Vezirev came free, but Miro Zamfirov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Belcho Vezirev struck a weak shot in the 36th minute. Miro Zamfirov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for 1. ФК Зелена ливада. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ruslan Rozov got free with Petyo Neshev in the 41st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 1. ФК Зелена ливада's Petyo Neshev played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nano Hadzhov in the 42nd minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nano Hadzhov in the 44th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Petyo Neshev saved 1. ФК Зелена ливада from getting behind. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Nano Hadzhov made the kick off in the second half. Miro Zamfirov stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Belcho Vezirev's shot from short distance in the 54th minute. Radostin Bikov's late challenge caught a 1. ФК Зелена ливада's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Radostin Bikov helped the player get up and apologised. Radostin Bikov hit a great freekick 59 minutes into the match. If Belcho Vezirev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Yanek Kafedzhiev took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 63rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Miro Zamfirov. Khana's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Tomislav Mastikov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 70thth minute of the game Belcho Vezirev who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Khana's Miro Zamfirov was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 71st minute the ball was on its way in behind Khana's goalkeeper Miro Zamfirov, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Nano Hadzhov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Petyo Neshev having to interfere. 1. ФК Зелена ливада's Belcho Vezirev got a good chance for a goal in the 89th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. 90 minutes into the match, Khana's goalkeeper Miro Zamfirov had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Tomislav Mastikov. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Khana had won after a very even match.
