Pirin Blagoevgrad beat CSKA - Sofia with 2:1 at the "Vasil Levski" stadium ; in the capital in a match of the 29th round of the efbet League, reported Sportal. This was the first victory for the "eagles" above the capital city in Sofia.
Vitalis Jagodinskis opened the scoring in the 14th minute, but Fernando Karanga equalized in the 26th minute. In the 79th minute, Ivan Tasev put the visitors ahead again after a famous shot with his right foot.
Among the 11 of the "red" in the second match in a row, no Bulgarian players were involved, as was the case against Levski. Coach El Maestro is making certain changes in view of the upcoming semi-final match for the Cup against Botev (Plovdiv) in the middle of next week. Lindseth, Matai and Phaeton are on the bench, and the suspended Yuga, Koch and Asprilia start in their place.
Asen Donchev will not take part for the visitors from Blagoevgrad. The footballer has been transferred from CSKA - Sofia, but with the condition that he does not play against the "reds".
In the third minute, Heinz sent the first shot of the match, which Kovalev caught. Seconds later, the people of Blagoevgrad organized a very dangerous counterattack. Tasev got away from the right and crossed on the ground for Kovano, but Busato came out with foresight and blocked the "eagles" striker. The visitors' attack continued and at one point they called for a penalty for a handball on a player in "red", but the referee remained speechless.
CSKA - Sofia responded appropriately in the 7th minute, when footballers in red twice surpassed their opponents after a cross from a corner. The ball fell to Asprilia, who shot from two meters, but Jagodinskis dived selflessly and prevented an almost certain goal.
In the 14th minute, Pirin shocked the hosts, opening the scoring through Jagodinskis. The football player of the "green" scored from a meter in front of the goal after a cross from a corner and bad positioning of several defenders in red.
In the 22nd minute, Tasev found himself alone against Busato after a counterattack launched by Babu, but he missed the goal.
"The Reds" they quickly recovered after the goal and equalized in the 26th minute. This was done by Karanga, who headed in a cross from a corner for his fourth goal since joining the team in the winter.
In the 38th minute, Heinz decided to surprise Kovalev and shot at a small angle from a foul, but the guard from Blagoevgrad saved. Seconds later, Karanga also shot from a good position in the penalty area, and after a ricochet at the foot of a defender, the ball went into the corner past the right post.
Just two minutes later, Vion sent a long pass to Juga, who sent Asprila attractively back-heeling Kovalev, and the striker's powerful shot rattled the crossbar.
The home team's pressure continued until the end of the half and in the 43rd minute they had an opportunity to turn the game around. Karanga made a good pass to Carreaso, who took the ball and shot from the penalty spot, but straight into the hands of the visiting keeper.
However, Pirin's counterattacks continued to be extremely dangerous. In the 45th minute, Komano escaped once again from the central defenders of the "red" and remained alone against Busato, but the guard quickly closed the distance and knocked the striker's shot into a corner.
The second half started with a great chance for Pirin. Komano broke away from the right in the penalty area, waited for Tasev and led him at an angle towards Busato, and the Bulgarian striker of the visitors aimed for the left post.
In the 49th minute, Comano broke free from Koch and shot from the edge of the penalty area, but Busato caught.
The situation in front of both goals continued to decline, as in the 56th minute Yuga missed a header after a cross from a corner because he shot over the crossbar.
In the 63rd minute, Yuga and Asprilia gave way to Lindseth and Phaeton.
Seven minutes later, Dianne was left uncovered on a cross from a corner and sent a frontal header from 6-7 meters, but straight into Busato's hands.
In the 76th minute, Vion crossed for Heinz, and the Norwegian's header went inches wide of the left post. Seconds later, De Neuer appeared in a game for the "reds", who returned to the field after almost a year's absence.
Pirin responded with a killer counter in the 79th minute. With it, Tasev mastered a long pass, dealt with Cordoba and after a cannonball shot with his right foot from the edge of the big penalty, stuck the ball in the upper left corner of the "red" neck.
In the 92nd minute, after Pirin's second goal CSKA - Sofia wandered out of nowhere to create a scoring opportunity. Lindest shoots hard and Kovalev somehow knocks out.
