The first half was poor for the Bulgarian team led by Lithuanians V. Dambrauskas and Marius Skinder.
The opponents had many opportunities: once they hit the crossbar, once they just missed the goal in a great situation.
The home team pushed their way through the middle and almost got a back when Veljko Birmančevičius tried to sneak the ball over the goalkeeper.
After the break, the image did not change: Malmo was a better team on the field. Jo Inge Bergetas was the first to reach the goalkeeper’s goal in the 61st minute and scored the second goal for the Swedish champion.
The return leg will take place a week later in Razgrade. There, Ludogorec will need to gain a two-goal lead to snatch extra time. Winning by a greater difference would mean entering the group stage of the Champions League.
If the students of V. Dambrauskas fail to cross the Malmö barrier, Ludogorec will play in the European League tournament, where the place is already secured.
