FC Bulgaria

The visitors started comfortably, and were dominating proceedings. Boho had a penalty appeal turned down in the 3rd minute and Galin had a shot saved early on as well. Against the run of play Koha took the lead after some loose defending by Angel left Koko one on one against the striker who calmly put the ball in the net for 1-0. Only 5 minutes afterwards another sequence of sloppy defending led to the second goal form 18 yards out. The nerves started to show and Angel was harshly sent off in the 18th minute for arguing a decision. The ref was in the middle of everything from then on. The away side was highly unhappy with most of his decisions as they were very questionable to say the least. 2-0 at half time and with ten man on the field we we were really up against it.

Better concentration in the second half led to a goal back in the 65th. Aram won some ground in the middle and found the onrushing Ico on the right with a nicely measured ball. Ico controlled it superbly and beat the keeper witha diagonal shot in the bottom right corner. At 2-1 we had one more glorious chance. After a nice combination Minkov released Galin on the right who got into the box but instead squaring to Boho for an easy tap in he went for glory himself, only to see his effort saved. On the other ebd some desperate defending by Mladen and Doktora were helping to keep the scoreline. In the 83rd, Aram was brutally pulled back from behind. The ref gave a foul in the other directions and that was enough to spark a group protest which saw Aram receive his first ever red card, and hopefully not a lengthy ban on the sidelines. Seeing that he is losing grip of this match the so called "ref" whistled the end 7 minutes from time, not giving us a chance to fight for that equaliser.

Overall a disappointing performance, poor referreeing and hopefully there will be an improvement next week.
