Ludogorets pulled 14 points ahead of second-placed Levski after a hard-fought 2:0 away win against Hebar. The big news from the match was the 1000th goal scored by the reigning champions in the top division. It was netted by Erick Marcus in the 78th minute. Ludogorets reached this milestone at a record pace — in just their 462nd match in the top tier. Erick Marcus scored beautifully with a header, perfectly finishing a great cross from Caio Vidal.

It was Caio Vidal, the assister in that situation, who sealed the win in the 90th minute. He received the ball from Erick Marcus and fired an incredible shot past Marsio Rosa — 2:0 for the visitors.

The match was marred by racist chants directed at Antoine Baroan, which led to a brief stoppage in play by referee Radoslav Gidjenov.
