The Bulgarian national team lost their visit to Finland in a match in the group stage of the Nations League tournament.
The match came a few days after Hungary’s disappointing defeat in Sofia, which ended our dreams of Euro 2020.
Today our team did not score a goal, but conceded two, which was another misstep for our team on all fronts: 0: 2.
The hosts triumphed with goals in the second half. Taylor got it right first, and Jensen scored soon after, just minutes after appearing on the field.
The Finns have 6 points in the group after losing at home to Wales 0: 1, and then beat Eire with the same result as guests. Bulgaria only has one point earned on its account.
In their last 18 matches, Bulgaria have only one win: 1-0 over the Czech Republic about a year ago.

Finland 2: 0 Bulgaria, goal by Jensen
The “Tricolors” face a comfortable rival
The first half started well for the Lions. They displayed enviable tactical maturity in midfield and took the initiative into their own hands.
The actions of the team were mainly developed on the wings, since all the players of the team, who started the game, were skillfully used, in charge of offensive functions.
All this with the stipulation that moving forward did not open up empty spaces in our defense, as Dermendzhiev skillfully rearranged the building and covered the areas of the two extreme defenders, often supporting the offense.
Nedyalkov fed his teammates centered on the left, while on the right flank the dynamics were gradually reduced to a minimum, as this part of the field was used for some of the quick counterattacks by the hosts.
The star in the Finns’ attack Teemu Puki was completely neutralized, without threatening the Bulgarian guest guard with almost nothing serious.

Lukov himself reacted twice in a great way, managing to shoot medium and close range shots, without showing any concern on the part of the rival players who came out against him alone.
Despodov squandered the purest opportunity for Bulgaria, being pulled off to perfection against the experienced Hradecki, but couldn’t get past him from close range.
Christian Dimitrov reported with solid actions on defense, but received a retreat in the 5th minute and had to be taken care of. Shortly afterwards, the hosts claimed that Dimitrov was playing with his hand in the penalty area, but the referee pointed out that play was continuing.
No goals were scored until halftime.
In the 52nd minute there was an unpleasant commotion in Lukov’s field, the defenders in front of him were not oriented in time with what was happening in the penalty area and they failed to protect Taylor, who scored his first goal with the shirt of team.
In the 65th minute, Jensen appeared on the field. Just 120 seconds later he received a bunt pass, easily outscored Tsvetkov and shot into the lower left corner of Lukov’s goal for 2: 0.
Everything here for our team seems to be over, as the pace of play has dropped drastically and it was obvious that the “lions” are just preparing to end the clash, having nothing else planned in the minutes remaining until the last signal.
Therefore, Bulgaria spoiled their excellent statistics in matches with “Suomi” so far. The two teams have already played 9 games, since the victories of the “lions” are 7, one game ended in a draw and today Bulgaria suffered its first defeat.
