The Hameleon fans' excitement grew in the 8th match minute when Hameleon's Nedyalko Cherganski looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. The audience was convinced that Nedyalko Cherganski's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Zhelyazko Birov was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. After a defensive mix-up in Padina's zone, Neno Ambarev stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Zhelyazko Birov came out of the goal and Neno Ambarev tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

If Neno Ambarev had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
