Yoncho Gasparov came out of the goal in the 33rd minute to try and stop a shot by Peresiler's Panayot Kalchishkov. But to his dismay, Panayot Kalchishkov quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-1.

When Nikola Korunov came up free with the goalie in the 38th minute, the Levski Karlovo 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 Nikola Korunov couldn't finish the play. If Dobri Doninski had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 48th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Svilen Frangov to make the kick off. Peresiler's Panayot Kalchishkov got a good chance for a goal in the 54th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

When Stoyan Pilyov was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 72 minutes had been played. In the 72nd minute, one of Peresiler:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Peresiler. Valkan Batyov shot the penalty kick right outside the post. After 77 played minutes Peresiler got a freekick which was hit by Hristo Zayakov. The supporters of Levski Karlovo booed when Peresiler was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Milko Doganov didn't get a good kick on the ball.
