Slavia finished 1-1 at home against Botev Vratsa in a match from the 31st round of the First League, although the guests played for a long time with a man less, BTA reports. Right from the start, supporters of the home team in the “A“ sector demanded the resignation of the club president, Ventseslav Stefanov, and after about half an hour some of them demonstratively left the “Alexander Shalamanov“ stadium.
“The Whites“ opened the scoring in the 17th minute after a corner kick by Ivan Minchev. After a series of shuffles and clearances from the goal line, David Malembana took advantage of a hesitant intervention by goalkeeper Marin Orlinov and scored from close range.
The hosts continued to be more active, but Vasil Kazaldzhiev and Yanis Germush made mistakes. In the 37th minute, the guests were left with a man less after Radoslav Tsonev was sent off with a straight red card after a VAR intervention and a review by referee Hristiana Guteva.
After the break, Slavia came close to a second goal, but Mohamed Doso's shot was saved. Immediately afterwards, Botev Vratsa responded, with Martin Petkov hitting the post.
At the end of the match, Emilian Gogev made mistakes for the hosts, and in the 89th minute, the guests equalized after a cross, in which the ball ricocheted off Luka Ivanov and Lazar Marin before entering Slavia's goal.
