CSKA won the second point in this year’s Europa League group stage participation. As in the game with Roma, the “Army” won again on foreign soil. Tonight, Bruno Akrapovich’s team played a pretty strong match against Romanian champion CFR Cluj, but only had to settle for a zero draw.
The Bulgarian grandmaster had clear enough positions to congratulate himself on the victory. Above all, they were a given in the second half, when Ali Sow and Tiago failed to overtake Bulgardean and the defense in front of him. In the first half, a technical shot off a heel by Valyo Antov was cleared from the goal line.

CSKA had an advantage of about 10 minutes, during which time they played with one more man for a second yellow card from Alexandru Chipchiu. The Sofianos remain in the last place of their group “A”, already with an asset of 2 points.
In their last match of the group stage, Valyo Antov and company accept Roma, who already play for nothing, against when they will seek their first victory and goal of the campaign in the second European club tournament.

CFR Cluj enters a direct clash against Young Boys, which will determine №2 in the final classification.
Less than 30 seconds had passed since the game, when Thibaut Villon from the CSKA ranks was awarded a yellow card.
From the created violation of the “Army” midfielder, CFR Cluj received the right to perform a static position. Chipquiu spun the ball perfectly to find his pass to Pereira’s head. The Brazilian came off Valyo Antov and went ahead of Busato’s right crossbar.

After the challenge from our northern neighbors, CSKA responded with wonderful situations at the Bulgardean gate. The first “red” attack almost ended with a goal from Ali Sow, who missed the ball for hundreds of seconds. In the corner, Thibault Vion found Valyo Antov, who fired an acrobatic kick with his heel. His shot flew into the unprotected corner of the enemy guard, but Captain Camora stood on the goal line and cleared. Soon after, Graham Carey was also given the opportunity to shoot, but from a relatively difficult position he made a very inaccurate shot.

Jefferson’s mistake could have cost CSKA a lot in the 12th minute. The Brazilian returned too weak to Zanev and his pass was intercepted by striker Debelyukh. The Croatian strode forward and aimed at Busato’s near corner. №1 showed the class to the citizens of Sofia and with great intervention saved the door of the “army”.
The hosts of CFR Cluj demanded a slight penalty in the 26th minute of the European clash. Kamora made a good pass to Debelyukh, who realized that he was in the CSKA penalty area, fell quite easily after contact with Matthew. French referee Deleru did not tie the numbers to the Croatian and signaled for the game to continue.

The “Army” played a very strong second half
CSKA had a great opportunity to counterattack in the 36th minute. Yunus Sankare won a serious space with a ball on his foot, but in the sublime moment he made a pass too strong for Ali Sow who was lurking.

The resumption of play brought a dose of optimism on the CSKA field. Supporting midfielder Amos Yuga fired from a long distance, the ball hit insidiously and Bulgardean did not intervene in the best way. However, there was no guest player around to create the goal addition. Coach Akrapovich was also angry about that on the goal line.
There was tension between the two fields in the 53rd minute. Jefferson and Alexandru Chipchiu fought, which was suppressed by the referee with a yellow card.
Home team coach Marius Bilascu struggled in the 61st minute when Michel Pereira was injured and forced to replace him. In its place came the game restored by the coronavirus – Cyprian Deak.

CSKA lost its clearest position in the match with the start of the 68th minute. The “Army” played a high-speed three-way combination between Yuga, Sankare and Sow. The latter found himself in shooting position, but at the decisive moment Andrey Burka went into the split, which unfortunately deflected the ball and went to the corner.
CSKA did not take another good opportunity in the 72nd. Thibaut Vion got up on the right flank and fooled his bodyguard with his body, allowing him to perfectly cross into Ali Sow. The African had wedged himself into the CFR Cluj defenders and fired a header, which turned out to be infinitely disappointing given the great position he was in.

Tiago, who appeared as a substitute, could once again become a CSKA hero in an international match. In the 82nd minute he was inches from intercepting an excellent cross from a teammate, but instead had a hard time with the Bulgarian goalkeeper who blocked him.
The Romanian hosts were left with a man less than six minutes before the end. Then Alexandru Chipchiu decided to do a little trick and received a yellow card for simulation. It was his second in the game and he left his club with a reduced squad.

The last chance for CSKA came in the 90th minute. Tiago decided to go for the unusual and fired a strong shot from more than 20 meters. Bulgardean was surprised and killed with uncertainty. The possibility of an extra was opened up against Ali Sow, who, however, shot in such a way that the ball went into touch.
