Spectators: 8036 (Terracing: 6028,
Seating: 1848, VIP seats: 160) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Stanoy Pechenyakov kicked off to start the match. 5 minutes into the match, Temida Sf's goal looked a bit too open when Beila Cacho came free, but Emil Ploshtakov reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Stanoy Pechenyakov in the 15th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Charis Manatakis saved Mesere from getting behind. If Lyubomir Vladikov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience thought a goal was coming when Stanoy Pechenyakov got free with Charis Manatakis in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 23rd minute, Millrick Ballestero hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Charis Manatakis showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lyubomir Vladikov, who was totally free with the ball in the 25th minute. In the 26th minute, Beila Cacho made a precise shot to the right of Emil Ploshtakov. Temida Sf's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. Mesere's attentive Millrick Ballestero managed to snatch the ball when Ancho Vlaev made a throw-in in the 34th minute of the game. Lyubomir Vladikov could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 40th minute of the match, but Charis Manatakis made a huge save. In the 42nd minute, Vasile Soare got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 44th minute, Lyubomir Vladikov left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Temida Sf fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-1. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.
Temida Sf's Thomás Müller was substituted for Stanoy Pechenyakov. The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Vasile Soare to strike the kick off in the second half. After 53 minutes, Vesko Balashev mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Temida Sf and the Mesere players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 53rd minute, Vesko Balashev hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Temida Sf's Emil Ploshtakov played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Beila Cacho in the 58th minute of play. When Beila Cacho came up free with the goalie in the 60th minute, the Mesere 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 Beila Cacho couldn't finish the play. In the 62nd minute Totyo Borchev shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Charis Manatakis saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 62 minutes into the match, Mesere's goal looked a bit too open when Totyo Borchev came free, but Charis Manatakis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 64th minute, Mesere's Vasile Soare dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-3. Temida Sf's Ancho Vlaev quite brazenly broke a throw-in by Mustafa Emrah Vahip, made in the 70th minute of the game. Charis Manatakis took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Totyo Borchev, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Temida Sf's Lyubomir Vladikov got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Pacho Losua kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. Lyubomir Vladikov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 79th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Vasile Soare's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Emil Ploshtakov firmly grabbed it by the left post. 89 minutes into the game, Tzoko Ilarionov was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Temida Sf's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Mesere the free kick. After a rather tough play, Temida Sf's Tzoko Ilarionov got a free kick in the 89th minute. A hard shot by Pacho Losua from long distance, 90 minutes into the match, got Emil Ploshtakov's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Totyo Borchev scored 2-3 in the 91st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Charis Manatakis, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With an all-out effort, Mesere's Emil Ploshtakov threw himself towards the right post 95 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Vasile Soare, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Charis Manatakis showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Totyo Borchev, who was totally free with the ball in the 97th minute. In the 98th match minute, Temida Sf was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Panayot Staninski to maneuver through the defense. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Mesere walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
