Arda and Cherno More drew, third place in question

Arda and Cherno More finished in a draw (0:0) and left the outcome for third position for the last round, BTA reports. After this match, it is still not clear which of the two teams will finish in third place and guarantee at least a play-off for Europe. If Ludogorets wins the cup, the third will play in the Conference League and the fourth will be in a play-off against CSKA-Sofia. If the "Reds" triumph, however, one of the two teams will not have the opportunity to play in Europe.

Cherno More created the first danger after a quarter of an hour of play, when Weslen Junior found himself in a comfortable position on the left wing, but his cannon shot from a volley flew high over Anatoly Gospodinov's goal. Just three minutes later, an interesting situation developed. Stanislav Ivanov received a long pass and the ball almost passed to Plamen Iliev, but he stopped it with his hand outside the penalty area. The guard received a red card, but the linesman had called offside and Georgi Kabakov changed his decision.

Arda created two chances in the next minutes. First, Iliev deflected a shot from a small angle by Svetoslav Kovachev, after which the hosts made huge misses. Chinonso Ofor failed to hit the ball after a pass on the grass in the penalty area, but it deflected to the uncovered Borislav Tsonev. The Levski youngster shot instantly, but wide of the goal.

Arda ended the first half on an upward trajectory in the game, but the start of the second half changed this due to a second yellow card for Svetoslav Kovachev (left) in the 57th minute. "The Sailors" even received a penalty three later for a foul on Weslen, but Kabakov changed this decision after a VAR review. Cherno More never took advantage of the red card and the two teams ended in a goalless draw.
