The “yellow-blacks” started the game very aggressively. In the first minute of the game Atanas Iliev crossed on the right into the penalty area, where Filip Filipov was exposed. The defender tried to hit her head, but did not consider the flight of the ball and she passed it.
The hosts continued their pressure, which did not allow the “blues” to calmly take the ball from their field, which led to errors. In the 5th minute Jonathan broke down the right wing and crossed into the penalty area, where Mite Tsikarski hit the back post with his head, but Ivaylo Naidenov countered well and the ball was caught by Nikolay Mihailov.
In minute 8 Paulinho invaded the left wing. The Brazilian changed direction and ducked inside, after which he fired a solid shot, which hit Victor Genev’s body. The Blues demanded a penalty for playing with the hand of the defender of “Canarias”, but the main referee Georgi Dimitrov did not indicate the white point, although there were reasons to do so.
A minute later, Levski coach Georgi Todorov received unpleasant news after he was forced to replace Radoslav Tsonev, and Toma Daske appeared in his place.
In the 15th minute, Botev Plovdiv opened the scoring. The “Canaries” organized an excellent attack. Todor Nedelev passed Mite Tsikarski in the middle. The Macedonian continued with a concealed pass from behind the defense to Atanas Iliev. The striker took control and with a shot measured in the lower left corner he realized – 1: 0.
Five minutes later, Botev Plovdiv doubled his lead. Mateo Stamatov made a mistake on the left. The Canaries organized a quick counterattack, after which Slavcho Shokolarov uncovered Atanas Iliev on the edge of the penalty area. The forward took control and with a forceful shot in the left corner doubled the advantage of the “yellowish”.
After the initial clash, Levski tried to transfer the game to the Botev half. In the 23rd minute Stein Spearings struck into the penalty area, but was blocked. Minutes later Borislav Tsonev crossed from a corner kick into the penalty area, where Zhivko Atanasov tried to shoot, but received a pass to Paulinho, but the Brazilian was passed by Georgi Argilashki.
In the 25th minute, Levski still received a penalty. Borislav Tsonev invaded the penalty area and was fouled by Filip Filipov, which was enough for Senior Judge Georgi Dimitrov to flag the white spot. The victim stood behind the ball and with a beautiful shot in the upper right corner reduced the score.
Definitely the “blues” began to dictate the actions in the field. In the 34th minute Borislav Tsonev crossed a free-kick, but it turned into a shot and Georgi Argilashki with one hand cleared decisively on a corner kick. The Levski striker also took the corner kick, after which Toma Dasek shot his head, but directly into the hands of the “Canarios” goalkeeper.
A good attack from Botev followed. Slavcho Shtokolarov took control in the middle and decided to shoot alone, but his shot was very imprecise and the ball flew over the goal.
In the final minutes of the first half, the two teams exchanged a dangerous counterattack, but the defensive formations succeeded. The final minutes were filled with nerves on and off the field, and twice the head referee Georgi Dimitrov had to calm both venues.
In added time in the first half, Nasiru Mohamed broke down the right wing and crossed into the penalty area, where Nigel Robertana hit the first crossbar, but the ball went through the left post.
