Spectators: 7640 (Terracing: 5982, Seating: 1500, VIP seats: 158) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Gergin Vragov took the kick off in the first half of the match. Lilcho Dzhurdzhov's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Germain Tissandier firmly grabbed it by the left post.
