Kositschino
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lilko Lulchev started the match with the kick off. After 2 played minutes CSKA Balukliy got a freekick which was hit by Lilko Lulchev. When Anastas Bozhinov came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Kositschino 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 Anastas Bozhinov couldn't finish the play. A collision led to CSKA Balukliy getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Gergin Maslev hit a great ball. Radoslav Donkovski made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nikolay Hristoskov in the 7th minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Huben Atzev during the 19th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 20th minute, Huben Atzev hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The attack was good, but when Anastas Bozhinov in the 22nd minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. In the 33rd minute, Anastas Bozhinov got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Nikolay Hristoskov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 43rd match minute, Kositschino was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Iliya Bodzhov to maneuver through the defense. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anastas Bozhinov made a kick off. Tzvetelin Chervenov kicked well hit freekick during the 50th minute of the match. Anastas Bozhinov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lilko Lulchev received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Paun Maldzyiev tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Radoslav Donkovski showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Anastas Bozhinov, who was totally free with the ball in the 68th minute. 76 minutes into the match, CSKA Balukliy's goal looked a bit too open when Nikolay Hristoskov came free, but Radoslav Donkovski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nikolay Hristoskov in the 91st minute of play forced CSKA Balukliy's goalkeeper Radoslav Donkovski to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 96 minutes into the game, Mincho Shiderov was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. CSKA Balukliy's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Kositschino the free kick.
