Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Doncho Púkov made the kick off which started today's match. A collision led to CSKA Kasumchevo getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Doncho Púkov hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Doncho Púkov in the 10th minute of play forced AFC NSport United's goalkeeper Filcho Krekmanov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Radul Sapundzhiev received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Filcho Krekmanov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Momchil Noshtev's late challenge caught a AFC NSport United's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Momchil Noshtev helped the player get up and apologised. 20 minutes into the match, CSKA Kasumchevo's Radul Sapundzhiev sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Filcho Krekmanov narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Svilen Videlov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ognyan Chenkov having to interfere. Doncho Púkov took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Filcho Krekmanov. Filcho Krekmanov dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. If Radul Sapundzhiev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 43rd minute Doncho Púkov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Filcho Krekmanov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Doncho Púkov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 44th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Filcho Krekmanov made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Radul Sapundzhiev in the 46th minute of play. 49 minutes into the match, CSKA Kasumchevo's goal looked a bit too open when Encho Nishkov came free, but Ognyan Chenkov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The AFC NSport United players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. CSKA Kasumchevo were winning 0-1.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Encho Nishkov was the one to do the kick off. If Radul Sapundzhiev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Filcho Krekmanov came out of the goal in the 61st minute to try and stop a shot by CSKA Kasumchevo's Momchil Noshtev. But to his dismay, Momchil Noshtev quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-2. Filcho Krekmanov was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Doncho Púkov showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-3 in the 70 minute of play. In the 80th minute the ball was on its way in behind AFC NSport United's goalkeeper Filcho Krekmanov, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Svilen Videlov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Doncho Púkov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With an all-out effort, CSKA Kasumchevo's Filcho Krekmanov threw himself towards the right post 89 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Doncho Púkov, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Doncho Púkov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 97th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Filcho Krekmanov having to interfere. The AFC NSport United fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. CSKA Kasumchevo were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
