Lokomotiv (Pd) beat CSKA in the great derby of the First League round. Both teams repeated the final of the Bulgarian Cup a few months ago, which was later won by the “Smurfs” after penalties.
Today again the success went to Plovdiv, as they won 2: 1.
Exactly for the winners were Tsvetanov and Matei, who scored an own goal. Thiago signed for CSKA.
This season, these teams are Ludogorets’ biggest competition for the country’s championship title.
CSKA had no losses after the first six rounds.
Sparks flickered between the two camps during the week. The “Army” was asked to postpone the match due to Basel’s important visit to the Europa League, but the “Smurfs” leadership refused.
TOPSPORT followed live for its users what happened in the field:

Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) – CSKA 2: 1, goal from Tiago!
Stamen Belchev bets on the best against the current Cup winner
The game started with some tension in the stands, between the agitators of the two teams. However, after adequate police intervention, signs of trouble were removed.
In the 6th minute, Almeida’s inclusion in the front positions unpleasantly surprised the Sofia defense and only luck saved CSKA from a shot on goal, after the ball bounced off a defender’s body.
Several attempts by the “reds” followed to achieve something more significant. Basically, these team efforts consisted of fast trailers from Kate and episodic inclusions from Tiago.
The tension rose sharply in the middle of the time, as the sudden absences, and consequently the official warnings, were not late.
In the 28th minute, the hosts claimed that Matthew played with his hand in the penalty area. The repetitions showed that this is the case, but the actions of the athlete are involuntary. Still, a sleight of hand was available.
In the 32nd minute, Parviz Umarbayev crossed, Matei tried to clear his head, but instead sent the ball straight into the net of the surprised Busato. Thus, the hosts came out ahead in the result, without endangering their rival or creating a 100% situation.
Only 6 minutes later Momchil Tsvetanov tried a shot from a very serious distance, the ball bounced off the body of Jurgen Matei and hit the target. The “Smurfs” lead was doubled, and Matthew was among the unhappiest on the field, and in practice he participated, though of course not of his own free will, in both Loko (Pd) hits.
Despite the final assault on the guests, no further change occurred before the break.
CSKA had to wait until minute 69, when Tiago made a good static position.
He sent the ball hard in the direction of the opponent’s goal, hoping it would be intercepted by his teammate.
Instead, however, the ball flew into the net 2: 1, restoring Sofia’s hopes for something more in the match.
In any case, there was no further change in the result and CSKA had to swallow their first defeat of the season.
For Lokomotiv, the situation began to normalize, after the not very strong start of the campaign in the elite.
The total balance of the matches between them is 74 victories for the “reds”, 29 draws and already 23 successes for the “black and white”.
