Dragostin Stadion
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Grozdan Denkov kicked off to start the match. The audience thought a goal was coming when Bratan Bechev got free with Mircho Súrbinski in the 3rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Krasen Burlakov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. CSKA Dragostin's Grisha Karagyulev played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sava Bozukov in the 9th minute of play. Mircho Súrbinski came out of the goal in the 13th minute to try and stop a shot by CSKA Dragostin's Bratan Bechev. But to his dismay, Bratan Bechev quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Vergil Marchokov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mircho Súrbinski having to interfere. After a rather tough play, FC Marschowiza's Galin Domovchiyski got a free kick in the 18th minute. After 22 played minutes, CSKA Dragostin's Alek Ushagelov shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mircho Súrbinski 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 CSKA Dragostin reached it. Bratan Bechev who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 25thth minute tested the skills of Mircho Súrbinski when he managed to save the team from getting behind. 29 minutes into the match, CSKA Dragostin's Grozdan Denkov sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Mircho Súrbinski narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Grisha Karagyulev showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sava Bozukov, who was totally free with the ball in the 32nd minute. Krasen Burlakov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 33rd minute. Grisha Karagyulev tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

When Bratan Bechev came up free with the goalie in the 40th minute, the CSKA Dragostin 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 Bratan Bechev couldn't finish the play. Galin Domovchiyski hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. Branimir Leshtanski was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 47th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Sava Bozukov stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 56th minute, Velin Gilev hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Branimir Leshtanski, 56 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bratan Bechev in the 58th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mircho Súrbinski saved FC Marschowiza from getting behind. 63 minutes into the match, FC Marschowiza's goal looked a bit too open when Bratan Bechev came free, but Mircho Súrbinski reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 66th minute, Vergil Marchokov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Grozdan Denkov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bratan Bechev received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Mircho Súrbinski tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bratan Bechev scored 2-0 in the 76th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mircho Súrbinski, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Milyo Stumbov during the 82nd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. A collision led to CSKA Dragostin getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Milyo Stumbov hit a great ball. FC Marschowiza's Mircho Súrbinski played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Bratan Bechev in the 84th minute of play. In the 86th minute Bratan Bechev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mircho Súrbinski saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Grozdan Denkov in the 88th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Mircho Súrbinski prevented the ball from getting in the gole. If Bratan Bechev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 95th minute Sava Bozukov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Grisha Karagyulev saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 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. CSKA Dragostin fully deserved thier win.
