The Black Sea team beat Levski 2-1 in a late Saturday match on the efbet league program. The triumph of the “sailors” can be defined as a real feat, since at half-time Varna was naked and fewer people. Referee Georgi Kabakov was to blame for the guests ‘dire condition, who in the 45th minute showed Ilian Iliev Jr. a second yellow card completely wrong. Before that, Martin Raynov had scored in the hosts’ only best attack.
The second half was marked by a total change in the capital. Despite the numerical inequality, the Black Sea dominated and deservedly reached the goals of Mats Courier (55 “) and Vasil Panayotov (69”). Thanks to them, as well as the wonderful performances of Ivan Dyulgerov, the “sailors” ended a 62-year drought in terms of championship wins over Levski in Sofia.
The victory helped the “greens and whites” climb to fifth place in the standings. Levski is only at position # 10.
Gerena’s game started at a fairly leisurely pace. Both teams did not take any initial pressure, preferring to wait for an opponent’s error.
With luck, though, Levski could get ahead in the 8th minute. Paulinho made a good break down the wing, then tried to cross Kraev. The youngster missed the ball and guest defender Tsvetomir Panov played the ball in such a way that he almost scored an own goal. The Bulgarian national team had goalkeeper Ivan Dyulgerov to thank for the lack of one.
The first accurate shot of this game became a goal. And the joy went to the hosts of Levski. In the 19th minute, Zdravko Dimitrov made a great cross for Nigel Roberta. The Dutchman signed two rival defenders and lowered his head for the discovered Raynov, who could not miss from a few meters against Dyulgerov.
The excellent mood that ensued after the centenarians’ opening goal could quickly help a second in the “sailors” net. Nigel Roberta showed explosiveness in his legs and fired a solid shot close to Dyulgerov’s left beam.
The Black Sea had a good chance to change the status quo in the 36th minute. Ilian Iliev Jr. tries his luck with a direct free kick. After contact with the wall, Mihailov was able to catch the ball with ease.
The Black Sea players pushed their opponents hard towards the end of the half, taking advantage of their insecurity on defense. However, the various dangerous actions of the “sailors” ended with an exact separation of Alex Petkov from the hosts.
The final chords of the first part were not pleasant for the Black Sea players. They were left with one man short for the second half, as referee Georgi Kabakov showed Ilian Iliev a second yellow card. The great talent lost his temper and slammed into Raynov’s feet, marking his exit. However, the referee’s decision was quite debatable and perhaps Varna’s playmaker should not have been penalized so severely.
The Black Sea defense could get into big trouble with the resumption of the derby. In the 1950s Tsvetomir Panov came back too easily for his goalkeeper and only the quick interventions of Dyulgerov did not allow Nigel Roberta to take advantage of this misunderstanding.
Despite the numerical inequality, the “sailors” showed character and regained their parity in the 55th minute. Another good flank attack from the guests ended with a strong pass from Isa around the penalty. Starter Mat Courier got caught between Alex Petkov and Ivaylo Naidenov to shoot Mihailov up close for 1: 1.
Shortly after allowing the tie, Levski was able to take the lead again at Gerena in the 59th minute. Roberta intercepted Dimitrov’s cross with her head, but Dyulgerov was in place and saved. However, the young goalkeeper of the guests had to repeat his actions, since the star of the “blues” had the opportunity to add. But even that didn’t end the dramatic moment. The ball fell into the hands of Ivaylo Naidenov, who sadly shot a little over the top beam.
The feat of the guests gained even more glamorous colors after they reached a complete change in the 69th minute. Very deservedly, in view of their performance after the break, Ilian Iliev’s boys hit their opponent with a glamorous counterattack. It happened in a Levski corner, which was ruined by Ivaylo Naidenov. This allowed Ismail Isa to lead Vasil Panayotov alone against Mihailov. The supporting midfielder maintained control over his emotions and realized 1: 2. The man in question maintained respect for the “blue” crowd and did not express joy at the goal against his home club.
In the end, Georgi Todorov replaced almost all of Levski’s attack, but this did not work. The hosts did not create anything significant in front of Dyulgerov’s gate, so the victory deservedly became the property of the Black Sea.
Levski fans sent their favorites with shouts: “Quit!”
On November 1, Levski will have a very difficult visit to champion Ludogorets. Black Sea will host FC CSKA 1948.
