Levski defeated CSKA 1948 2:1 in a match from the seventh of the championship, reports BTA. "The Blues" started the match at their own stadium with a bang and managed to take the lead in the eighth minute. Everton Bala received the ball on the right wing and sent a cross into the penalty area, and Kristian Dimitrov beat William Fonkeu to the far post and scored for 1:0. This was the debut goal for the defender this season, as he missed three matches in the championship and played in all eight in the European tournaments.
Levski got his next opportunity after half an hour of play, when he had settled permanently in the half of the "Reds". Two headers by Gasper Turdin after corners were saved first by Petar Marinov and then by Adama Traore, and in the continuation of the attack, Karl Fabien made a huge miss. He received a pass from Maicon two meters from the empty CSKA 1948 goal, but failed to knock it into the net.
In the 34th minute, Maicon (left) scored a goal with a heel. He received a pass in the penalty area and controlled it with his back to the goal, while the goalkeeper Marinov guarded him with his body. However, the Brazilian hit the ball hard with his heel and overcame him for 2:0.
CSKA 1948 managed to fight back at the beginning of the second half, after Radoslav Kirilov missed a good chance for Levski. Georgi Rusev broke through on the right wing and passed on the grass to the penalty spot, and Mamadou Diallo sent a precise shot into the left corner of Svetoslav Vutsov for 1:2. For the 28-year-old Frenchman, this was the fourth goal in the efbet League.
The “Reds“ were very close to equalizing 15 minutes before the end of regular time. The guests escaped from a high press with a double pass and the ball reached Diallo on the right wing, and he fired a very strong shot at the "Blues" goal. Vutsov, however, deflected the danger and kicked a corner, after which Levski cleared the ball.
CSKA 1948 tried to pressure the opponent, but failed to create more chances and lost for the second time this season.
