Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Evtim Ostrev kicked off to start the match. After having played for 5 minutes, Yonko Gashparov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Drazki's supporters crossed their fingers, but Yonko Gashparov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 8th minute, Evtim Ostrev ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Slavi Roglev was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Yonko Gashparov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Tzvetomir Ayanov tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Yonko Gashparov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Drazki's Subin Iskrov got a good chance for a goal in the 18th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Niki Vayov's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tzvetomir Ayanov read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 20th minute of play. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Niki Vayov in the 21st minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Tzvetomir Ayanov prevented the ball from getting in the gole. In the 23rd play minute Yonko Gashparov came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Tzvetomir Ayanov. 1-1. Niki Vayov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 41st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, CSKA Stanjanzi's Stoyko Cherpokov got a free kick in the 46th minute. 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.

The wind increased when Niki Vayov made the kick off in the second half. When Subin Iskrov came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Drazki 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 Subin Iskrov couldn't finish the play. 53 minutes into the game, Dilyan Kerelski was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CSKA Stanjanzi's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Drazki the free kick. After having played for 54 minutes, Yonko Gashparov managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Drazki's supporters crossed their fingers, but Yonko Gashparov was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ganyo Kuzmanov's late challenge caught a Drazki's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ganyo Kuzmanov helped the player get up and apologised. Ganyo Kuzmanov kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. Yonko Gashparov struck a weak shot in the 60th minute.

A wasted opportunity for Drazki. 67 minutes into the match, Drazki's Subin Iskrov sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tzvetomir Ayanov narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Rangel Sentov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Niki Vayov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Tzvetomir Ayanov having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Drazki's zone, Evtim Ostrev stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Slavi Roglev came out of the goal and Evtim Ostrev tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. When Drazki's Yonko Gashparov in the 84th minute got a chance for a shot 84th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye CSKA Stanjanzi's goalie prevented a goal. Evtim Ostrev sent away a hard shot on goal in the 85th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Evtim Ostrev might have been able to make a better finish in the 87th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Slavi Roglev. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Evtim Ostrev ran back to his position shaking his head. Evtim Ostrev fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Slavi Roglev having to interfere. 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. Drazki fully deserved thier win.
