Botev (SW) won 1:0 away at CSKA 1948 in Bistrica. Substitute Alexa Marash scored in the 84th minute. Debut for the "reds" from Bistrica, the Ghanaian right-back Christopher Acheampong, who until now had only played for the club's double, reported sportal.bg.
Before the first whistle, the new president of CSKA 1948, lawyer Stefan Sotirov, presented a plaque and a framed shirt to the previous president, Dobrin Gyonov. As is known, a few years ago the General Assembly of the "red" accepted the resignation of the former fencer, who had been the boss of the club since 2017.
In the 18th minute, the Ukrainian central striker of the hosts Yevgeny Serdyuk was brought out alone against the goalkeeper of the "canaries" Hans Bernat. A shot followed and a great one-handed save by the Danish keeper. A rather boring few minutes followed on the pitch in Bistrica, as Ehije Ukaki's shot from the edge of the penalty area came in, but the ball went wide of CSKA 1948's frame.
Emil Tsenov tried his aim in the middle of the second half, but the ball went wide of the target. In the 71st minute, the reserve in Botev's team Alexa Marash found the net behind Petar Marinov, but the head referee Vasil Minev canceled the goal due to an ambush. Replays showed that indeed Ehije Ukaki was a bit behind the defenders of the “reds”.
In the 84th minute, the boring match in Bistrica "gave birth" its most interesting moment. Ivelin Popov found Alexa Marash with an excellent pass, the Montenegrin advanced and shot Petar Marinov - 1:0 for the "canaries".
