Spectators: 5854 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1829, VIP seats: 25) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Toshko Katúrov made the kick off which started today's match. Toshko Katúrov's late challenge caught a Ruzhevo's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Toshko Katúrov helped the player get up and apologised. Toshko Katúrov hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Ruzhevo's zone, Martin Vaskov stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Valeri Potzkov came out of the goal and Martin Vaskov tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A long shot from Penyo Súbev in the 10th minute of play was well struck, but Vergil Karamfilov made a really good save at the right post. Ilcho Gogev lost his temper 15 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In the 15th minute, one of FC MINYOR PK:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for FC MINYOR PK.

After 30 minutes of play, FC MINYOR PK's Toshko Katúrov made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net.

Minko Klinkov 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 the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Alexey Spahiyski made the kick off in the second half. If Toshko Katúrov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Minko Klinkov scored 2-1 in the 56th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Vergil Karamfilov, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

In the 67th minute, Minko Klinkov ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Vergil Karamfilov was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Minko Klinkov in the 73rd minute of play forced FC MINYOR PK's goalkeeper Vergil Karamfilov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
