The “Lions” with a difficult visit to Ireland
Bulgaria ends their participation with two points, which came after two draws against the Irish. Eire scored 3 points.
The Lions started the game better. In the second minute Kraev’s shot was killed by a defender. In the 17th minute, Collins failed to spot a Curtis cross in an empty net.
In the 20th minute, Manning brutally entered Spas Delev’s legs, but the referee gave him only a yellow card. Two errors on Eyre’s defense followed, but first Tsvetkov’s shot was blocked and then Randolph managed to shoot Mitko Iliev.
In the 32nd minute Galin Ivanov received a pass from the right, but failed to control the ball and went out alone against the hosts’ goalkeeper. Three minutes later, Christian Dimitrov headed in after a cross from a corner, but over the goal.
Soon after, James Collins intercepted a Curtis cross, but could not find the outline of the door.
The second part started anyway. In the 55th minute, Collins overtook Dimitrov and fired from the move, but passed the gate. A minute later, the Bulgarians made a mistake taking the ball. The ball reached the one that was left alone against Lukov Curtis, but he shot over the door from a clear position.
Three chances for Bulgaria followed, but again there was no one to score. Tsvetkov fired first, but a defender took a corner. After the back snap, the ball landed at the feet of Dimitrov, who was five meters from the goal line, but his shot was annihilated on a Duffy corner kick. Seconds later, Kraev fired a bad header.
In the 68th minute Brady broke down the right, entered and fired a powerful shot that hit the crossbar.
At the end of the match, many changes were made and the dangers in front of one of the two gates were absent.
