Spectators: 7793 (Terracing: 5846, Seating: 1792, VIP seats: 155) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Goran Yanachkov got the match started through his kick off. Bozhil Gorbanov took the ball and in the 9 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Stanislav Parichkov. Stanislav Parichkov 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. Radoslav Marianov could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 12th minute of the match, but Anko Shinikov made a huge save. When Goran Yanachkov came up free with the goalie in the 15th minute, the ZIPO TEAM 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 Goran Yanachkov couldn't finish the play. Stanislav Parichkov showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bozhil Gorbanov in the 18th minute of the match. 23 minutes into the match, VN Stremowo's goal looked a bit too open when Bozhil Gorbanov came free, but Stanislav Parichkov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Vitan Kukurin charged in rather forcefully in the 27th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Vitan Kukurin the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. VN Stremowo's Lyudmil Chemshirov was substituted for Radoy Bliznakov. After 28 played minutes ZIPO TEAM got a freekick which was hit by Vitan Kukurin. Anko Shinikov showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nasko Marinkev, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. Radoslav Marianov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anko Shinikov having to interfere. ZIPO TEAM's Anko Shinikov proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 34th minute of the match, managed to save ZIPO TEAM from getting a goal against them. Vitan Kukurin got his second yellow card in the match during the 37th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. Vitan Kukurin kicked well hit freekick during the 38th minute of the match. When the match had gone on for 40 minutes, Nasko Marinkev put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Anko Shinikov. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Radoslav Marianov was the one to do the kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nasko Marinkev in the 51st minute of play forced ZIPO TEAM's goalkeeper Anko Shinikov to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 52 minutes, Goran Yanachkov mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the ZIPO TEAM and the VN Stremowo players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 52nd minute, Goran Yanachkov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bozhil Gorbanov recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a rather tough play, VN Stremowo's Marko Pilev got a free kick in the 56th minute. Nasko Marinkev struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Anko Shinikov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for VN Stremowo. In the 64th minute, Galabin Dumkov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 72nd minute, Bozhil Gorbanov fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. In the 75th minute, Bozhil Gorbanov made a precise shot to the right of Stanislav Parichkov. VN Stremowo's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. With a little luck, VN Stremowo's Stanislav Parichkov got control of the ball when Bozhil Gorbanov tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 81st minute, Lyudmil Chemshirov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 85th minute Nasko Marinkev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anko Shinikov saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Anko Shinikov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nasko Marinkev, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to ZIPO TEAM getting a freekick after 89 minutes play. Goran Yanachkov hit a great ball. After 90 played minutes, VN Stremowo's Nasko Marinkev shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Anko Shinikov came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in VN Stremowo reached it. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
