Ludogorets – Antwerp 1: 2, a total change for the guests
The Eagles want to start their fifth participation in the Europa League groups with a victory
The Bulgarian team started with very strong pressure in the first minutes. It led to corners that didn’t throw anything.
The guests showed very high speed in the counterattacks, which began to line up one after another. Particularly dangerous was Norway’s Simen Yuklerod from the left, who constantly passed Siinho and created several very dangerous situations.
Fortunately, the lack of precision in the Antwerp forwards did not lead to a goal. Plamen Iliev also played excellently in some of the situations, showing great reflection.
Little by little, the Eagles calmed down the game and stopped the dangerous forays of the Belgians. At the end of the half, Iquinio Marín had good chances for a long shot. One minute before the break, Kiril Despodov was injured while trying to shoot and was replaced by Elvis Manu.

The second part started in a dreamy way. Elvis Manu gave a nice pass to Iquinio Marín, who advanced to the penalty area and hit the ground with a dagger to open the scoring in the 47th minute. 1: 0 for Ludogorets.
The goal gave wings to the “eagles”, who made two or three attacks on goal, but Cowley could not decide the game, remaining only before Buto.
The Belgians, accustomed to turning matches, advanced bravely. Norwegian Uklerød remained very active on the left. Iliev threw his shot into the corner.
From him, the Norwegian crossed well to Geerkens, who headed our goalkeeper 1: 1 in the 63rd minute.
After this goal, the Belgians continued to be more persistent. They pressed hard and after a mistake they reached a second goal.
Santana carelessly returned to Plamen Iliev. Refaelov took advantage, was the first to reach the ball, missed the goalkeeper and slipped the ball at a small 1: 2 angle in the 71st minute.
This goal lowered the tone of the Ludogorets players. Kesheriu and Anise came into play, but this led to nothing. The Belgians also had a beam after a header.
In this match it was seen that fast play is a big problem for local clubs, who like to operate at slower speeds.
