The Lokomotiv Plovdiv team crushed CSKA in the derby of the efbet League match, defeating the “reds” 2: 1 at their stadium in the city of Pod Tepetata. CSKA’s Jürgen Matej gave the Smurfs the lead with an own goal in the 31st minute, and eight minutes later Momchil Tsvetanov scored a goal for his former team. Thiago Rodríguez cut the deficit of the ‘reds’ in the 69th minute, but the forces of the team led by Stamen Belchev were not enough to equalize and the three points remained in Thrace.

Therefore, CSKA did not test its capabilities in the best way before perhaps the most crucial game of the season. In just four days (Thursday), CSKA will play in Switzerland against the local giants of Basel in their fight to enter the Europa League groups. Another interesting feature is that the “reds” suffered their first defeat of the season, and in the seventh round it came from the “smurfs”, who subdued their rival from the capital.
After the end:
Akrapovich: We finished our work in the first half
Chiko Tsvetanov: Good morning for Lokomotiv Plovdiv
Krusharski attacked CSKA: they are villains
Belchev: We scored both goals
Six minutes into the game, Anton blocked a shot from Dinis Almeida and sent the ball into a corner kick. In the ninth minute came the first serious danger in front of both doors. Parviz Umarbaev wanted to score the ball from a foul, but it flew out of the Busato-out goal. In the 13th minute Jules Keita combined with Ali Sow in front of the Lokomotiv penalty area. The Gambian fired hard with his right foot, but his attempt was inaccurate.

A great opportunity for Lokomotiv Plovdiv opened in the 23rd minute. Momchil Tsvetanov crossed Dimitar Iliev from the left into the penalty area, but the “Smurfs” captain did not catch the ball well enough to land a dangerous blow at Busato’s door. In the 31st minute Salinas put up a great cross from a free kick, and Jurgen Matej played the ball in a way that put Lokomotiv ahead in the result, after scoring an own goal.
In the 38th minute, Lokomotiv scored a second goal in the match. Momchil Tsvetanov stole the ball in the CSKA half and shot hard with his left foot. She crashed into the head of nightmare fighter Matthew and broke into Busato’s door, the Brazilian guard was unable to intervene in any way.
In minute 51 came the first opportunity in the second half for both teams. Lokomotiv made a great attack through Minchev, Ilie and Karagaren. The latter took a powerful shot from the edge of the reds’ penalty area with his left foot, but the ball went flying. Eight minutes later, Graham Carey shot Lokomotiv Plovdiv from a foul, but the ball went wide.

CSKA’s pressure on the Plovdiv goal intensified and in the 69th minute came the first goal for the guests. Thiago Rodríguez shot superbly from a free-kick and sent the ball straight into Lukov’s goal – 2: 1 for Lokomotiv. In the 73rd minute, a brilliant performance by Martin Lukov was seen following a scissor shot by Jurgen Matej through a Lokomotiv defender. The guard deflected the ball, followed by a scramble, but a second shot missed Plovdiv’s goal.
At the end of the match, there were no particularly serious situations in front of both gates, as Ali Sow tried to detect a close cross from Enrique Rafael’s left, but the ball went to the sides of Lukov’s goal. Lokomotiv will visit Beroe in Stara Zagora, while CSKA will play Basel on Thursday.
