Spectators: 7465 (Terracing: 5600, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 149) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Boncho Uvakov kicked off to start the match. In the 8th minute, SvE United's Slaveyko Angelakov seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Slaveyko Angelakov the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of SvE United protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Slaveyko Angelakov had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 7 minutes into the game, one of SvE United:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. 10 minutes into the game, Zdzislaw Rode lined in a short shot 1-0 behind a frustrated Dimo Igov. Maciej Solibieda showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kuzman Dobrovski in the 18th minute of the match. Antoni Robak hit a great freekick 28 minutes into the match. Antoni Kosel could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 30th minute of the match, but Dimo Igov made a huge save. In the 32nd minute Radko Mitziev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maciej Solibieda saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 35 minutes into the match, Chelsea Brudzew's goal looked a bit too open when Radko Mitziev came free, but Maciej Solibieda reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kuzman Dobrovski in the 37th minute of play forced Chelsea Brudzew's goalkeeper Maciej Solibieda to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Dimo Igov showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jaroslaw Kuszczak, who was totally free with the ball in the 38th minute. Maciej Solibieda came out of the goal in the 48th minute to try and stop a shot by SvE United's Kuzman Dobrovski. But to his dismay, Kuzman Dobrovski quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-2. After the first half SvE United were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Klement Odachowski was the one to do the kick off. After 57 played minutes SvE United got a freekick which was hit by Boncho Uvakov. The audience was convinced that Jaroslaw Basinski's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Dimo Igov was relentless in the 58th minute of the game. Maciej Solibieda showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kuzman Dobrovski in the 63rd minute of the match. The referee felt a red card was in order, 81 minutes into the game, when Borys Maziarski put in a rough tackle. When the match had been going on for 83 minutes, SvE United's Nikolay Levenski got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Maciej Solibieda. Maciej Solibieda made an important save on a dangerous shot by Radko Mitziev in the 89th minute. A collision led to SvE United getting a freekick after 91 minutes play. Benislav Shaprin hit a great ball. Jaroslaw Basinski fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 98th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dimo Igov having to interfere. After a rather tough play, SvE United's Iskren Glavinov got a free kick in the 99th minute. The supporters of SvE United booed when Chelsea Brudzew was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 100 match minutes in a wonderful position. Daniel Pincoski didn't get a good kick on the ball. SvE United's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
