After two minutes, Strahil Popov had a chance to cross the ball on the right. He found Galin Ivanov in the islanders’ penalty area, who shot from a difficult position with his head, but Randolph saved the ball, which went wide. Gradually, the guests began to control the ball more seriously, and Adam Ida turned his back to the penalty area for Connor Hurricane. The Aston Villa midfielder finished off with his left foot, but the ball missed the profile of the door guarded by Georgi Georgiev.

The pressure from Ireland continued, and Georgi Georgiev merged with Christian Dimitrov. The Hajduk Split defender made a mistake and passed the ball to Aaron Connelly. He fired with his right foot from a small angle, but the shot didn’t make Georgiev make a save. In the 21st minute, Todor Nedelev fired from the middle distance with his left foot, but unfortunately the shot was not accurate.
In the 29th minute, Nedelev had a great chance to find the result. The Botev star received a long diagonal pass from the left into Ireland’s penalty area. Darren Randolph came out to defend against our playmaker, who tried to transfer the guard to West Ham United, but his shot was too strong and the ball stopped in the Irish net.

In the 35th minute Anton Nedyalkov led Galin Ivanov down the left behind the Ireland defense. However, the CSKA 1948 player was too slow in his attack and Darren Randolph came out and stopped the attacker’s ability to attack the newcomer to the efbet League. A little later, Spas Delev had a great opportunity. Arda’s player was seen in the Ireland penalty area, but lost his body balance at the most critical moment and the defense of the guests killed the ball, instead of a dangerous blow from the former CSKA and Las Palmas player.
From the beginning of the second half, our team started actively with great pressure. Galin Ivanov attacked Ireland’s goal with a shot from behind the arc, but the shot was too light to hinder Darren Randolph. Five after the start of the second half, the Bulgarians had the right to take a free kick. Of course, behind the ball was Todor Nedelev, who shot from 25 meters with his left foot, but Randolph calmly intervened.
Seconds later, our central defenders – Zanev and Dimitrov, made a mistake in their combination, and Aaron Connelly stole the ball in front of the “lions” penalty area. He fired after the ball bounced, but Georgi Georgiev deflected the shot and the danger ended. In minute 56 our team opened the scoring. Todor Nedelev brought a great Bozhidar Kraev between Egan and Duffy, who was in the penalty area and with a cold-blooded shot from close by Randolph overcame him and took the lead – 1: 0.

Ireland, of course, became more active after the conceded goal, and in the 59th Connelly invaded the left field of our team’s penalty area. The Brighton & Hove Albion striker crossed in parallel, but two Islanders’ players missed a shot. In the 63rd minute, John Egan fired a powerful shot from a long distance, but Georgi Georgiev caught it.

In the 79th minute Dermendzhiev had to make a forced substitution, after captain Petar Zanev was injured after a duel, and his CSKA teammate Plamen Galabov, who made his debut for the men’s team, came in his place. In the 81st minute, Georgiev passed a long pass to Nedelev. He dominated the class and took a great Karagaren down the right of the Irish penalty area. However, Lokomotiv Plovdiv’s shot was very imprecise, although the situation was very good for our team.
Three minutes before the end of regulation time, the Ireland captain headed in from a corner, but his shot could not be called a good start.
Georgi Dermendzhiev bets on Georgi Georgiev at the gate, as the four in defense in front of him are made up of Strahil Popov, Zanev who is the captain, Kristian Dimitrov and Anton Nedyalkov. Kraev, Nedelev and Galin Ivanov are the three behind Spas Delev who will harass the Irish defense. The supporting midfielders for the “lions” are Kristian Malinov and Georgi Kostadinov.
